> It's essentially the same as Firefox with no proprietary blobs (Flash, DRM, etc.).

I had always thought Iceweasel was about Firefox branding (i.e. trademark, not copyright) issue. Mozilla had issues with some custom Firefox builds, so they asked to not call "Firefox" anything that wasn't build by them.

Maybe I'm unaware of something, but at least I hadn't seen any Flash or DRM blobs in Firefox packaging. Blobs are Chrome/Chromium distinction.

Oh, well, but if they're adding DRM to Firefox, guess that would be a new distinction between it and Iceweasel.
