They did change their mind - on this particular issue. But the problem
of using trademarks to push non-free copyright-like terms is still
looming.
I strongly consider seconding Wouter's message, although I'd like to
word it less Mozilla-specific (as it is not a punishment against
Mozilla itself, and there are _many_ trademarked projects shipping in
Debian). I'm waiting a bit on reading other voices...
