Bug#815006: Iceweasel / Firefox: Trademarks?

Not to derail this bug, but have we addressed the trademark issues with
"Firefox"?

At minimum, the trademark guidelines say we can't charge for the software,
what's our stance on that?

The *software* is clearly DFSG Free, and the Logo might even be (yay!), but
if we can't actually express our freedoms, I have to ask, is it actually?

God knows I don't want to dig down this hole too far, but I guess
generally, but this strikes me as funny:

If you are using the Mozilla Mark(s) for the unaltered binaries you are
distributing, you may not charge for that product. By not charging, we mean
the Mozilla product must be without cost and its distribution (whether by
download or other media) may not be subject to a fee, or tied to
subscribing to or purchasing a service, or the collection of personal
information. If you want to sell the product, you may do so, but you must
call that product by another name—one unrelated to Mozilla or any of the
Mozilla Marks (see the sections on "Modifications" and "Related Software"
below). Remember that we do not want the public to be confused.
