There may be some problem with mozilla - or with its license - AFAIK it's
not compatible with the GPL - and GNOME is a desktop environment that consists
entirely of *free* software - here, we should interpret *free* software the way 
the FSF does (ie distributed under the GPL).

When you think we can use Mozilla within GNOME - why should we then
make GNOME? There's already KDE - it's also 'free' software as Mozilla is
'free' software - but this 'free' here is not what the FSF tells us.
