Mozilla Demanding Firefox Display EULA In Ubuntu
TRS-80 writes "Users of the upcoming Ubuntu release, Intrepid Ibex, are being confronted with an EULA the first time they launch Firefox. Mark Shuttleworth says 'Mozilla Corp asked that this be added in order for us to continue to call the browser Firefox... I would not consider an EULA as a best practice. It's unfortunate that Mozilla feels this is absolutely necessary' and notes there's an unbranded 'abrowser' package available. Many of the comments say Ubuntu should ditch Firefox as this makes it clear it's not Free Software, hence unsuitable for Ubuntu main, and just ship Iceweasel or Epiphany, the GNOME browser." A few comments take Canonical to task for agreeing to Mozilla's demand to display an EULA without consulting the community.
Its the Firefox EULA, not one from Microsoft, Apple or EA.
Pull your heads out of your ass and stop being such fanatical 'Free' nutjobs. Its all good the require that everything follow the GPL and the 'non-freedoms' that go with it, but not anything else?
For fucks sakes its gotten so damn ludicris that there are like 50 definitions of 'free' for software. And everyone argues over which is better. Let me end it for you, Public Domain is free, nothing else is, if its not public domain it has restrictions, period.
Why is it that some people think they deserve to get everything for nothing and be able to do anything they want with it without restriction? Do this people not respect other peoples right to dictate how their software is distributed, but its okay for them to restrict their own software?
To all the people who think this is just evil, fuck off, you're never going to be happy, take some zoloft or something and get out of mommy's basement.

Agreed. Then I won't have to keep explaining to tiresome dolts like you why I prefer a computer that works right.
No, he's just addressing the homos. The rest of us can safely ignore this message, without worrying that we missed anything important.
Sorry, your uid is not small enough for you to reminisce about days that far back, just as mine won't let me reminisce about PDP-11.
