There is a three level naming of the Mozilla Firefox product (see [1]
and [2] for more details):


1. The offical 'Firefox' name + the fox-on-earth logo

that must be approved by Mozilla Foundation and must contain minor
changes only (other bookmarks, other startup-page, official localized
builds).


2. The 'Firefox community edition'

can contain some more changes (e.g. another default theme, other default
settings (e.g. use-system-colors)).


3. "Iceweasel" level

Significant functional changes (e.g. removed extension-upgrade capability);
binary must not be called 'firefox' and the official artwork must not be
used anymore. The naming was created on the Debian legal list.
