No the issue was both the name and the logo, Mozilla are insiting one
must always be used with the other. Ubuntu is obviously complying with
this in edgy.
The other issue is Mozilla wanting to approve distro specific patches
before their use, which is presumable what the relevant people from
Ubuntu are talking to Mozilla about currently.
Mozilla have to enforce their trademarks or they will lose them, same
for all companies, including the Ubuntu and Debian trademarks and
logos.
Thanks,
Mark
