I've started doing some "third-party" SeaMonkey builds inspired by GNUzilla's

Two things:

1. I've rebranded them as "LessZilla" and used some GNU images in
creating/assembling artwork for them.

I'm confused about the naming now. I think we (Debian and GNU, and then
everybody else) should adopt the same names for each product. Having two
conflicting names for essentially the same thing will be even more
confusing. We have to choose; I don't think dithering is really option.



As a third party builder naming builds after a proposed name for GNUzilla's
future version of SeaMonkey, my immediate concern is with any objections
GNUzilla might have about my use of the name (which I perceive as theirs,
though without the trademark issues involved with MozCo.)

I've seen LessZilla ( http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/gnuzilla/ ), Gnuzilla (
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ ), and IceApe (
http://www.asoftsite.org/s9y/archives/118-IceLizard-application-names.html )
suggested for the name of the real thing.  It does seem a good idea for Debian
and GNUzilla to use the same name.

When there's a "real" LessZilla, or Gnuzilla, or IceApe, or whatever, I'll
happily compile appropriately named builds of it!
