Debian Iceweasel - FUD-free facts from the horse's (or weasel's?) mouth

web.glandium.org — There have been a lot of rumours, trolling and flamewars about the proposed name-change of Firefox to "Iceweasel" for Debian Etch. This post by FF/IW Debian maintainer Mike Hommey straightens out some of the wilder claims/accusations that have been made, and confirms that Etch's Iceweasel will be vanilla Firefox®, save for the change of name.

  • g0zer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0kudos to the debian maintainers for sticking to their guns on this one. it's good to know that there's still a distribution that will stand up for its users' rights to redistribute the software with modifications. that's #2 and #3 in the core freedoms of free software: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

    if you *really* want it to say Firefox on the screen, well, get one of those branding extensions, or download the binary from mozilla.com, or build your own! but isn't *that* a little silly?
