Debian doesn't allow other projects to use it's name or logo when they modify the code and redistribute it either.
why is this acceptable for Debian, and Evil for Mozilla?

Debian isn't free software then either Posted Sep 27, 2006 17:54 UTC (Wed) by hooty (subscriber, #7374) [Link] That has long been considered a bug and I'm seeing movement to correct it wothin the project recently.
Debian isn't free software then either Posted Sep 28, 2006 7:10 UTC (Thu) by branden (subscriber, #7029) [Link] At Anthony Towns's request, I've picked up this issue and am working onit. I've already sent him a long draft with an extensive background and rationale for the change (much of this information will be familiar to those who have had a skeptical eye on Debian's licenses on its logos for years -- but not everyone has troubled themselves to care). I was hoping to get something done this past weekend, but I suffered a hard drive failure that has affected my $HOME so I've been trying to piece that back together. (I had backups, but they, um, were a little over 2 years old.) I am learning my painful lesson and have a pair of new drives I'll be configuring into RAID 1. At any rate, expect some motion on this soon.
