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

</I>><i>
</I>><i> As said I'll skim the changes you mentioned, but if you are able to ship
</I>><i> Firefox/Thunderbird with these changes and with official branding,
</I>><i> consider it a 'go' from us.
</I>><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 ...
