Admittedly being a bit pedantic, that isn't quite true, at least with |
| 11 |
"that browser otherwise called Firefox". You not only notice but accord |
| 12 |
some value to the brand, as you not only noticed but obviously prefer the |
| 13 |
Firefox branding, or you'd prefer "Bon Echo" or whatever, since the only |
| 14 |
positive is the branding, which you wouldn't care about, and it comes with |
| 15 |
a big negative, restrictions on your legal right to give your friend a |
| 16 |
copy, should they need or want one. |
| 17 |
|

So it appears you care rather more about branding than you claim. |
