I'm just watching Ubuntu's Launchpad kick off over the existence of an
EULA in FireFox 3:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/269656
Which references a bug I raised in the Mozilla bugzilla a while ago:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439604
I've not yet migrated a workstation to Fedora 9, so I'm not sure how this
is handled by Fedora, but I presume that the user is presented with the
EULA as soon as they start FireFox?
I'm curious what the Fedora Project's take is on the situation - there
are suggestions that Ubuntu may switch to IceWeasel in order to avoid the
EULA. Ubuntu is one of the last distros I would expect to go to such
lengths to protect their users from non-Free licences, given that they are
(reasonably) happy about bundling non-Free drivers. But as an entirely
Free distribution, is Fedora planning on following suit and dropping
FireFox in favour of IceWeasel (or similar)?
