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
