As I understand, Mozilla's trademark policy is that the browser can't
be called Firefox unless it includes the non-free artwork (this is why
Debian calls it Iceweasel). If this is correct (IANAL), there can't be
a free and legal firefox package, since removing the non-free artwork
is violation of the trademark Firefox name.
