No, this is much worse. As soon as someone starts using Firefox they are told that just because they are using firefox they have agreed to a contract.

Most EULAs in the wild are examples of anti-user agreements that give the company too much power. This should not be what ubuntu is about. Ubuntu (and Linux) in general is supposed to be better, it's supposed to be a community of equals, a community where we all share together and create something wonderful.

Freedom 0 is "The freedom to use software for any purpose", if you need to have an end user licence agreement, then you don't have freedom 0.
