You can, but it's really not necessary. As it stands, the Firefox that 
ships with gNewSense is 100% Free Software (please correct me if I'm 
mistaken). However, it still links to nonfree plugins when they are 
needed to view certain content, and the Mozilla trademark issue may 
prevent us from calling it "Firefox". Brian has already said that he 
considers Firefox fully free right now, so it's not really a high 
priority issue right now. (That's my understanding of it, anyway.)

GNOME is an official part of the GNU Project, so we really don't have to 
worry about them siding with Microsoft in any sort of secret deals. Some 
major GNOME contributors work at Novell but that's about it.
