I've read through the Debian bug report where this very problem is being
discussed right now:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354622
I think Mozilla's restrictions on the trademark are a real problem. For
example, they don't even tolerate SECURITY updates without explicitly approving
every single patch. They have also pretty-much backpedaled from a previous
agreement they had with Debian (with the justification that that agreement was
with Gerv from the Foundation and now it's the Corporation which decides), who
is guaranteeing us that they won't do it to Fedora too? Who's guaranteeing us
that they won't refuse to approve an important patch (or worse, ALL new
patches) in the future? I'd really suggest following Debian's renaming here
(with the same name if possible, to reduce confusion).
