Fedora,
just like you can't modify Firefox under F/OSS principles and still call
it Firefox. Both of us do this to protect the good name of the project.
We'd be in an extremely glass house-y situation if we tried to 'call
out' Mozilla over this. It'd be ridiculous.
That has not been an issue for Debian.
It perfectly makes sense that you'd want to protect your own name, but still
not use somebody else's similarly protected name because it prevents you
from shipping what you want to ship.
