An EULA is just unacceptable.

This is not hate or anger; just common sense. Installing Ubuntu then suddenly becomes "the lawyers have to look at some EULA" ..

Not acceptable by default. Firefox can be offered in add/remove or as a link, or even a sort of wizard; but we can't have the risk of people clicking through EULA's in the name of their company. We can't also, everywhere, make sure we can legally accept the EULA.

I don't really understand what Mozilla is doing...
 - this is making it difficult to preinstall firefox
 - this is making installing Ubuntu a lawyer related question

At least offer an EULA-free Ubuntu-spin. EULA's are legally speaking much much more difficult to work with than (and this is ironic!) closed-source software.
