Mozilla Trademarks Their RSS Icon?

My good friend Daniel Goldman posted an interesting story at OperaWatch regarding the fact that Mozilla required a singed agreement from Opera Software before allowing them to use their RSS icon. It appears that Mozilla filed for trademarks on this icon and is planning on enforcing a licensing policy. More to come…

UPDATE: The original Opera official announcement is here:

Regarding the old RSS icon: Mozilla would like us (and other users of it) to sign an agreement on the use of the feeds icon. We fully respect their rights to the icon and will not use it as long as this isn’t sorted out.
