Wasn''t there a license change regarding the Firefox logo in the end
of 2010, that was related to this?

If needed, I can forward the request through the Mozilla Europe guys
(across the street) who will certainly route us to the right people to
ask.

As far as I remember, having discussed about that with them in the
past, there are two orthogonal product visions at stake here; so even
in the long run, that will certainly be beneficial to work upstream to
ease Firefox packaging and tuning on Linux platforms in general (and
Mageia in particular).
