Can I suggest please Mark that the page that shows this license Mozilla require have a link to another page, or possibly some wording within the existing page, that is a plain english FAQ like explanation. It could explain in plain english what the basic situation is. When I was confronted with it, my immediate questions in mind were what is this and how does this effect me? Then, dam, I dont want to spend the time having to understand this. A plain english FAQ could address topics like:

* why its necessary
* how it does / does not change what rights I have to modify the software, give it to others etcetc
* what it means in practice

If the single issue is just their trademark, I think Mozilla deserve our respect and recognition of the software they have built. Its a good browser and I'm thankful to them for it.

As you say Mark, I'm not a legal expert - I have faith in your judgement and those at Ubuntu who are skilled in the legal area. Im an ICT Project expert, I'd like to continue contributing my time to add value in that area that I know, and for someone skilled specifically in the legal area to explain what this means for me and other enthusiasts of your project.
