Comment 510 for bug 269656

Firefox cannot be distributed in a modified form.

The whole point of the branding from Mozzila's point of view was that
there should not be 100's of modified Firefox's floating about

If it can not be modified and distributed by *definition* it can not be
in main...

Otherwise you are saying we can take Iceweasle and put FF branding on
it?
