Comment 393 for bug 269656

Clearly Fedora has found a solution which satisfies the practical
usage problems of the current ALLCAPS in-your-face EULA. However as I
understand it, Mozilla maintains that this is only a temporary
solution and that a EULA is necessary.
@Canonical: Keep on talking to Mozilla.

Both Tom Callaway's (http://spot.livejournal.com/299409.html) and Jeff
Spaleta's (http://jspaleta.livejournal.com/) has interesting points. I
suggest others to read those before engaging in the debate. The size
of this is really getting out of hand.

There may be a need for disclaiming liability for web services. But a
situation where every FLOSS application using an integrated
web-service has a EULA is clearly not a desirable solution to that
problem.

@Christopher Blizzard: I think Mozilla should put faith in the MPL, or
else update the MPL. However, a (very) quick browse of the MPL yields
"No one other than Netscape has the right to modify the terms
applicable to Covered Code created under this License." Does this mean
the MPL is effectively frozen in its current state? That probably
would mean trouble sooner or later.

About transparency: While I think the community should have been made
aware that talks was going on, I can see why Canonical did not want to
involve the entire community in discussions. Reading these posts makes
it painfully clear.

....
(Well, seems the situation is changing as we (I) speak.)

Hoping to be using Mozilla software for many more years.
