>From what I understand, to use the name and official logo, we can not
change the binaries. So far so good, but this part caught my attention:
"In addition, if you are distributing Mozilla binaries yourself, and
wish to use the Mozilla Mark(s), you may not
(a) disable, modify or otherwise interfere with any installation
mechanism contained in a Mozilla product;
(b) use any such installation mechanism to install any plug-ins,
themes, extensions, software, or items other than the Mozilla product; or
(c) _use or provide any program, mechanism or process (other than an
installation mechanism contained in the Mozilla product) to install such
product_. Any use of a meta-installer would require our prior written
permission."
Considering that the browser will be packaged in an RPM, I believe that we
should seek permission for the Mozilla Foundation. Fortunately, the very FAQ
points to
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Marketing&format=trademark
and has a e-mail adress: trademarks at mozilla.com .
So, I guess that one of project maintainers should oficially send them a message
asking about this.
