Rob, it was really good to have you at the meeting and in the pub
afterwards.

We talked about getting the latest Iceweasel for Debian. (If you want to
know why it's Iceweasel in Debian and not Firefox then see
http://wiki.debian.org/Iceweasel ). There are later versions available
for testing and sid. With version 5.0 for testing and version 6.0:
http://packages.debian.org/iceweasel
But as you said you can get them backported to stable (among other
suites) via:
http://mozilla.debian.net/
which gives the necessary instructions on how to do it. I haven't tried
it myself but am tempted.

Further to a conversion I had with Mick Fuzz about permissive free
software licences, which I don't think a lot of people understand the
implications of, that is, it can be made into non-free software, see:

Cheers,
Mike.
