Given the full message you posted,
lightningbug - Mail client derived from Mozilla Thunderbird
iceweasel - Web browser derived from Mozilla Firefox
gojira - Web browser and mail suite derived from Mozilla
And what's the problem? It's OK with the Mozilla Project's trademark
licenses. It lets users find the programs. It's honest. The only
thing it loses is some publicity for Mozilla's programs.
