This didn’t kill Mozilla in the end or really affect the OSS community for Firefox or Debian
- ensignavenger 2y agoMozilla didn't cut Debian users off from the plugin ecosystem or any other Mozilla services.
- duskwuff 2y agoI don't think there was ever any expectation that the Firefox/Iceweasel trademark dispute would "kill" either organization. About the most serious it got, IIRC, was some heated discussions on the Debian bug tracker; there were never any legal threats involved, and the situation was ultimately resolved to everyone's satisfaction by the name change.
