blah. somebody beat them up.
Indeed. The layout is copied. The font and some of the colours are copied. The
headers are copied. The tab titles are copied.

"You may use the HTML and CSS files on www.mozilla.org or other mozilla.org
websites for your web site - as long as you don't use the visual design or style
(the colors, gradients, fonts, etc.). In other words, you can use the HTML
and/or CSS code, but it should not look like you took our page and dropped in
your logo."
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ (http://www.getfirefox.com/) also has
"Copyright © 1998–2005 The Mozilla Organization" at the bottom of the page.
I think this would fall more under copyright violation than trademark violation.
fwiw, I think that first line should read
"You may copy HTML and CSS code on www.mozilla.org"

For what it's worth, this doesn't bother me. It's a parody - It made me laugh.

Steven, if you really don't mind this and no one else seems to have an objection
since, obviously, this is a parody (and may even fall within legal rights to
copy work like this), can you please close this bug as a WONTFIX?
