You do understand that if you consider using the Firefox name in Debian-Edu that you have to ask Mozilla if all changes are OK and that this means if you do it properly quite some changes to the Debian version?

the place...


Does anyone have any idea how much work is really involved in this process? It would be worth an effort to be able to keep the Firefox name. I would guess the
Mozilla guys are reasonable people.

Keeping the firefox name is a lot of work.
- someone must create this package, and maintain it. not to mention security patches, and firefox have it's share of those. And when all security patches must be preaproved by mozilla corp before we can use them. This will be a more work then it's worth. - we must have it in our own repository, creating work for ftpmasters and drift

Personaly i feel that if someone have the needed time to do this. they could do a _LOT_ of good things with http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Status/Etch

Besides why jump thru loopholes when we dont have to ? iceweasel is bug for bug compatible with firefox.
