Perhaps most important, however, is this: even if a distributor gets permission to ship a specific modified version of Firefox, there is nothing which automatically gives anybody else that permission. Using one distribution as a base for another is a time-honored practice in the Linux community...To be clear, this may be your concern, but Debian decided (as much as Debian can ever be said to decide) that it was acceptable to use a trademark license for itself for the name Firefox, as long as everyone had the right to modify the code.
