@chirpbirb @fidget @petri there was historically some low grade weirdness about it along the lines of "<niche distro> has to rename it because they added some small patches whereas Ubuntu gets to still call it Firefox even though they have a huge number of patches for distro integration" but none of it was ever really important.
@0x2ba22e11 @chirpbirb @petri That’s more of a trademark law problem, too. Defense of your trademarks is required to keep them.
Firefox could license it, but there are legal costs involved in that.
It’s not in anyway perfect, but it’s the only thing preventing something like “McAfee Firefox by Intel” from becoming a reality.
