DP told me abt this… was not sure wat that was.. chked out the other links.. ya one thing is for true that many people are drunk just too much.. why is this necessary.. this is wat the iceweasel team tells..
Gnuzilla is the GNU version of the Mozilla suite, and IceWeasel is the GNU version of the Firefox browser. Its main advantage is an ethical one: it is entirely free software. While the source code from the Mozilla project is free software, the binaries that they release include additional non-free software. Also, they distribute non-free software as plug-ins. (IceWeasel does keep the triple licensing used by Firefox to facilitate the reuse of code.)
Duplication of the same mozilla effort, I don think will be of much, its been a gud yr for firefox since even many win users hav adopted it, I think its a mere waste of time for developing such completely free.. it doesnt serve purpose to get an opensource browser to be dominant in web, with IE7 offering many more sleek features, its jus matter of unity in opensource projects which will lead to acquire the market..
This is much more cooler post..
one more link to my journal!! yippee i am rich.
i wonder if iceweasel will just lie down cold. no non-free stuff matlab no flash/media player plugins too? no hope for the weasel.
your blog entries come as a surprise…suddenly going quiet on gtalk and then tadaa! a new link to me
have a nice day…look forward to the interesting weekend and take care.
i really feel that it would not be of much use, so thought to spell it out..!
The Mozilla license clearly states that once you modify their version, you shouldnt use their logo or name.Below it is,
======================================================================
From Mozilla’s Trademark Policy:
Serious Modifications
Those taking full advantage of the open-source nature of Mozilla’s products and making significant functional changes may not redistribute the fruits of their labor under any Mozilla trademark. For example, it would be inappropriate for them to say “based on Mozilla Firefox”. Instead, in the interest of complete accuracy, they should describe their executables as “based on Mozilla technology”, or “incorporating Mozilla source code.” They should also change the name of the executable so as to reduce the chance that a user of the modified software will be misled into believing it to be a native Mozilla product.

And thats one of the strong reason that Freespire/Linspire calls his browser Lbrowser and not Firefox
