&gt;<i> I'm currently in contact with some seamonkey developers, to maybe clear up

As a followup, an answer from Justin Callek, seamonkey developer:

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Will address the rest of your message later, but this for now...
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> I will thank Robert Kaiser for providing the wording for the answer of
</I>&gt;<i> the following, not sure if he meant to send it directly to you as well,
</I>&gt;<i> but this makes my reply soo much easier.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> `so far, we've handled those cases with a stance of &quot;if you have
</I>&gt;<i> permission from Mozilla to ship an officially branded Firefox (and
</I>&gt;<i> Thunderbird) with those code changes, you have permission to ship
</I>&gt;<i> SeaMonkey with those same changes - if you don't modify the code or
</I>&gt;<i> deactivate (major) features, you're always allowed to ship with official
</I>&gt;<i> branding.&quot; As most of those distros offer Firefox and Thunderbird as
</I>&gt;<i> well, usually with higher priorities as SeaMonkey, that has worked out
</I>&gt;<i> fine so far without needing special additional rules. `
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> As said I'll skim the changes you mentioned, but if you are able to ship
</I>&gt;<i> Firefox/Thunderbird with these changes and with official branding,
</I>&gt;<i> consider it a 'go' from us.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>
OK, so how do we handle this? As there is no explicit permission
by Mozilla to have us ship officially branded Mozilla apps, as i've
put up before, or at least i don't know of any explicit permission.

As this applies to Firefox and Thunderbird as well ...
