Could the Mozilla employees in this thread please get the trademark
policy updated so that what Debian and other distributions are doing is
explicitly allowed by the policy? As it stands, theoretically "any
modification to the Mozilla product" ... "will require our permission
if you want to use the Mozilla Marks" and Linux distros are thus
relying on Mozilla ignoring their lack of trademark license.
