A letter of request.

In the name of Allah,

Asalaam O Alaikum,

Dear Firefox team,

I am an open source advocate. I am very much in love with open

source concept. Open source gives a meaning to the word

freedom what sleep is to the word rest.

I strongly believe that quality costs money and I know for

sure that almost every one wants to pay for quality. But if

quality can be given cheap, I would prefer that, since it will

only make an average person's life easier.

I have been using firefox for the past three years and I love

it. I want it to be on every desktop. In every school and on

every tablet. I want people to know that its possible to do a

good deed without being selfish. That its possible to give

something for free and still make some money.

That good and love can achieve certain big things in life.

And that, little is more.

I don't agree but I do respect your right of copyrighting your

logo.

I believe that copyrighting the name 'Firefox' is enough to

make open source a household name and something that can be

assciated with quality.

Its your property and you can do what ever you want with it.

And I also see the act of copyrighting YOUR logo as something

very, very and imensely very small compared to what firefox is

already doing for open source.

And here I would like to thank you and congratulate you for

your efforts and your love for open source.

As a advocate of all those things that would make an average

man's life easier, with a lot of respect and love, I would

like to make a request.

Please try to help the Debian community. They need you. We

need you. The world needs Open source and freedom. Among this

community there are very nice and faithful followers of open

source and they can contribute alot to firefox's fame by

improving it and by distributing it.

I am not a Debian user but I am like them. A linux user. Linux

that started the revolution we now know as Open Source. It

needs you.

I know now that its not possible for you to free your logo. I

would prefer that but its your decision and I respect that.

So I think that it would be appropiate to create another logo

that is under copyleft. A logo that is very slightly different

from the original logo. I want every one to use Firefox and

love its fox around the gloge logo.

Once again thanks.

Sincerely yours,
A firefox user.
