Mike: how did you find out? I was waiting until the various license documents were fully updated before publicising it widely (I'm the James in the thread Jordan linked).

Obviously if you want to put the whole thins under the MPL the logos have to be too, so they did. The license text change came up in http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/gerv/archives/2010/01/packages_and_trademarks_an_observation.html (a comments back-and-forth, though I very much agree with the post, especially now that we see the H.264 difference between Chrome/Chromium, a line Mozilla rightly won't cross). Apparently Mozilla somehow just didn't realize they didn't update the text.

They couldn't (before this change) because the issue of the copyright license on the bits themselves short-circuited any discussion of trademark policy (despite the heroic efforts of certain Mozilla employees to try to convince the world otherwise). @Joe well, the Debian community could certainly begin to have that conversation now.

AFAIK, Mozilla Corp. still wants to control whether you can name a piece of software Firefox, and AFAIK their rules still aren't acceptable to Debian. No, the logo alone isn’t why Iceweasel exits.
