IIUC, Debian has a DFSG logo for the DFSG version of Firefox, which will be called IceWeasle, thus IceWeasle will not use the Debian logo, which is not DFSG free, per se. Using the IceWeasle logo states that this version is not a Mozilla approved version but a version derived from Debian sources and contains DFSG software (source code, logo, documentation, etc). cheers, Kev -- | .''`. == Debian GNU/Linux == | my web site: | | : :' : The Universal | debian.home.pipeline.com | | `. `' Operating System | go to counter.li.org and | | `- http://www.debian.org/ | be counted! #238656 | | my keysever: pgp.mit.edu | my NPO: cfsg.org |
