    Firefox, its logo, etc are trademarked and therefore restrictions apply when re-distributing, and that has been the case for as long as I remember. There’s nothing stopping you from compiling it yourself, calling it Firefox, or using their branding, as long as you don’t redistribute your build and modifications to others while still using their branding.

      Ah, I see he was talking about the branding and trademark. Yeah, that has nothing to do with Open Source.
