Hmmm, and how do we handle this. I guess we don't consider that our
apache is a derivative... or that is a restriction incompatible with
the DFSG.

It's probably roughly equivalent to:

4. The names "Apache" and "Apache Software Foundation" must
  not be used to endorse or promote products derived from this
  software without prior written permission. For written
  permission, please contact apache@apache.org.

from the Apache license.

However, IANAL, and please, this does not pertain to the technical
development of Debian. so please, please, take it to debian-legal, not
here.


We could create a Firefox icon for Debian ( if later the offer us a new free icon we can include it in the package ) so, it can be detected by apt-get install to create a icon in the desktop manager ( I suggest include the command "install icon imagepath" to install icons in the desktop - gnome, kde and so on ).
Regards.
