Nothing. There seems to be a misunderstanding that Mozilla's
trademark policy makes the Firefox source code less or non-free,
which isn't true. There are plenty of reasons to dislike Mozilla;
there's no need to change the definition of free software or the
FSDG to serve that agenda.
I think you and Carlo have summarised it well: it's free software
(yay!) but needs to be made FSDG-compliant (making doubly sure we
rip out malware hooks like ‘EME’) to ship with Guix under a
different name to protect Mozilla's brand. I hope we call it
Iceweasel like Debian does to avoid confusion, but it will be as
vanilla as the FSDG allows.
Kind regards,
T G-R
