Nobody is ignoring the Mozilla trademark license.  The issue is that
Debian is being offered non-transferrable rights to the trademark.  And
whether not having DFSG-free rights to the *brand* makes the *product*
non-free.

FWIW, I agree with the proposed extension to DFSG#4: [in terms of
distributing software,] Debian will not accept or exercise rights which
cannot be granted to Debian's users.
