Comment 72 for bug 44335

Matthias,

The MN license certainly grants someone the freedom to modify the MN source code and redistribute the modified version. However, I own the "Mail Notification" trademark. Shipping a modified MN version that I have explicitly been disagreeing with is called trademark infringement. If someone wants to legally distribute such a MN version, he has to change the name of the application.

Please keep in mind that it is my reputation which can potentially be damaged by this patch. For instance, if this patch contains a security vulnerability, the various security announcements that will be issued will contain my name.
