[News] The Firefox Fork Not a Bad Thing

Why the Firefox fork doesn't matter.

,----[ Quote ]
| What Mozilla is asking Debian is impossible to do, for the two reasons
| stated before. Debian has always taken its social contract very
| seriously, always supporting Free Software, and making sure that main is
| 100% Free. Free code, free documentation, free graphics. However, Mozilla
| is asking Debian to break this contract, for very childish reasons, as
| having an open source without trust is impossible, and Debian has always
| been committed to its users, and would never actually change the true
| Firefox for something else. Again we see that the Firefox project is
| Windows-centric. Furthermore, many people have been pressuring Debian
| to do what OpenBSD does, which is to distribute a "Community Edition"
| Firefox. However, as stated by their policy, this does not include the
| ability to change the source code, even if it is one line.
