[Mageia-dev] Can Firefox be included in Mageia?

If I'm reading well, Mozilla allows distribution of Firefox as
+"Firefox" if you don't change it (I mean, code).

+
+Software Distributions
+Unaltered Binaries
+
+You may distribute unchanged official binaries (i.e., the installer
+file available for download for each platform (code + config) and not
+the program executable) downloaded from www.mozilla.com or
+www.mozilla.org to anyone in any way, subject to governing law,
+without receiving any further permission from Mozilla. If you want to
+distribute the unchanged official binaries using the Mozilla Marks,
+you may do so, without receiving any further permission from Mozilla,
+as long as you comply with this Trademark Policy and you distribute
+them without charge. However, you must not remove or change any part
+of the official binary, including the Mozilla Marks. On your website
+or in other materials, you may truthfully state that the software you
+are providing is an unmodified version of a Mozilla application,
+keeping in mind the overall guidelines for the use of Mozilla Marks in
+printed materials, detailed above. We suggest that, if you choose to
+provide visitors to your website the opportunity to download Mozilla
+product, you do so by means of a link to our site, to help ensure
+faster, more reliable downloads. (See the section on Linking, below.)
+
+If you choose to distribute Mozilla binaries yourself, you should make
+the latest stable version available (of course, you probably want to
+do so as well). If you compile Mozilla unmodified source code
+(including code and config files in the installer) and do not charge
+for it, you do not need additional permission from Mozilla to use the
+relevant Mozilla Mark(s) for your compiled version. So that users get
+the latest code and security releases, we encourage you to always
+distribute the most current official release. The notification
+requirements of the Mozilla Public License have been met for our
+binaries, so although it's a good idea to do so, you are not required
+to ship the source code along with the binaries.
+
+In addition, if you are distributing Mozilla binaries yourself, and
+wish to use the Mozilla Mark(s), you may not (a) disable, modify or
+otherwise interfere with any installation mechanism contained in a
+Mozilla product; (b) use any such installation mechanism to install
+any plug-ins, themes, extensions, software, or items other than the
+Mozilla product; or (c) use or provide any program, mechanism or
+process (other than an installation mechanism contained in the Mozilla
+product) to install such product. Any use of a meta-installer would
+require our prior written permission.
+
+If you are using the Mozilla Mark(s) for the unaltered binaries you
+are distributing, you may not charge for that product. By not
+charging, we mean the Mozilla product must be without cost and its
+distribution (whether by download or other media) may not be subject
+to a fee, or tied to subscribing to or purchasing a service, or the
+collection of personal information. If you want to sell the product,
+you may do so, but you must call that product by another name—one
+unrelated to Mozilla or any of the Mozilla Marks (see the sections on
+"Modifications" and "Related Software" below). Remember that we do not
+want the public to be confused.
