The first document looks promising, but it's unclear what the context was
("your builds are configured so closely to ours") at the time (and it's unclear
what the time was). (The file has a 2004 timestamp on it, which seems
improbable — that was shortly after the name changed from Firebird.)
I guess the written permission in that document is pretty broad, so maybe we're
still fine. I guess I would feel more comfortable if I knew how our patchset
today compares with the one from whenever the permission was granted, but, what
the hell. It answers my question/concern.

None of this is relevant to Mozilla's exercise of their trademark rights.
