No need to guess about Firefox/Debian, the bug report is preserved here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815006 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815006 As noted by steveklabnik, Debian already does ship Rust with their own patches without issue.

I don't find that very descriptive. I still don't understand why Mozilla changed its mind about how much the Debian patches changed. I think it's just about changing of the guard at Mozilla or something. I guess we'll have to hope someone at Mozilla doesn't get picky again and decide to enforce their trademark policy, which I think says Debian is in violation of, but being tolerated.

  The main license problem that Debian had was the _license of the logo_. This flaw is remedied. (and Rust hasn't made that mistake) There was no change of guard, just a very long discussion on how you can make some of the stars align: Mozillas interest that things shipped as "Firefox" are something they can vouch for and Debians interest to use them as free software.

    If the problem was the logo, why change the name?

      Debian felt they couldn't ship the logo because of its licensing restrictions. Mozilla felt changing the logo fell outside their trademark guidelines to still call it Firefox.
