I think you are grossly misjudging the relative visibility and
importance of the Firefox and Fedora brands... nobody knows what Fedora
is, while most computer users will have at least heard about Firefox.
Does this justify Fedora throwing the principles of "Free SW" over board?
IMO, *no* - it's time to spread the world about Mozilla's trademark
policy violating the prinicples of Free SW and Fedora's Mozilla being
hostage of it.
In other words, if Fedora hasn't already entirely abandoned the original
motivations and foundations it once was based on, it's time for Fedora
to very serously reconsider their attitude on Mozilla packages.
