OTOH, as has been pointed out before in one of the many related threads,
if I take a Ford, built by Ford Motor Company, replace the fuel pump, I
can still sell it as a Ford.
I'm not a trademark lawyer, haven't read much on trademark, etc. so I
don't feel competant at all trying to figure where that line is drawn in
software. However, I'd be surprised if putting
Mozilla Firefox
Modified by Debian
(see /usr/share/doc/mozilla-firefox/changelog.Debian.gz)
in the About box and similar things in the package description wouldn't
be allowed.
OTOH, I don't see any issue whatsoever with Debian taking the Mozilla
Foundation's trademark license offer, so long as it only gives Debian
additional rights.
