If the owner of the trademark doesn't grant a license that is
compatible with a free software license, then the software is non
free. Linus doesn't go around telling people they can't redistribute a
modified linux kernel. His only restriction on the linux trademark is
that it is used to label things that use the linux kernel. Mozilla
specifically forbids redistributing modified binaries which violates
freedom #3 (the 4th freedom)
