We are not using unmodified source code for firefox :
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/firefox/current/SOURCES/

And it seems mandriva seamonkey package also has some patchs :
http://svn.mandriva.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/packages/cooker/seamonkey/current/SOURCES/

Also the "do not charge for it" would make it non free (but it does not
seem to be mentioned in the "Modifications" section, only in the
"Unaltered Binaries" section).

So maybe we need to request permission, as explained in the
"Modifications" section.
