Hi All,

I have had a conversation on email with Richard Stallman about Firefox.
Distilling it, we get to this:

- ----
The Firefox trademark issue is not important.  At worst it means we have
to change the name of what we distribute.  The Firefox sources are free
software, and we can use them.

(The standard Firefox binaries are NOT free software, so we should not
redistribute them or tell people where to get them.)

But there are some real free software issues about Firefox.  The biggest
one is that it is set up to offer downloads of non-free plug-ins from
Mozilla's own site.
- ----

What do we want to do about this?

Regards,

Paul O'Malley
