Yup, but then for altered binaries, we just cannot use the brand, see
"modification" :
"If you're taking full advantage of the open-source nature of Mozilla's
products and making significant functional changes, you may not
redistribute the fruits of your labor under any Mozilla trademark,
without Mozilla's prior written consent."
I do understand their position, and I also know that they need to defend
their trademark ( as not doing would prevent them from defending later,
as some lawyer explained to me one day ), so I do not blame them.
But if we wish to respect their policy ( and that's what we both wish ),
we will likely need to change the name, or to move it to tainted or
non-free ( because either trademark issues preventing distribution or
removal of a basic freedom would be a reason to do so ).
