That was an inevitable consequence if a binary distribution of Firefox is MPLed, that means all the files in it are MPLed, and can be used under those terms. When we took the decision to ship the official binaries under the MPL, we also decided to make the logo bits MPLed. I'm talking about the copyright licence which applies to the ones and zeroes which make up the image files which depict the Firefox logo. Mike: thanks for the clarification on component structure. Gerv has changed to reflect the above, but apparently further changes require a bug, so here we are. about:rights says the same thing in respect to the logos. It says something like "The logos' copyright is licensed under the MPL/LGPL/GPL, but use is also subject to trademark licensing". Other-licenses/branding/firefox/LICENSE says "You are not granted rights or licenses to the trademarks of the Mozilla Foundation or any party, including without limitation the Firefox name or logo." which to me implies copyright and trademark licenses.Ībout:rights says "Mozilla does not grant you any rights to the Mozilla and Firefox trademarks or logos." However, no documentation was changed to reflect this, nor was a specific announcement that the logo now had a free copyright license made.
