If it weren't for zealots there would be no free software. While yes, to
many, fanaticism over software is at best antiquated and (often) rather
silly. Sometimes that's correct. In 1984 it was necessary.

However, anyone promoting or creating free software has a place in this
community. We must be tolerant of others or nothing will ever be
accomplished.

That being said, I really would love to hear Mozilla's need to have the
users accept the EULA. Its trademark policy, if you live where the
trademark is valid you have already accepted it, similar to how you
accept that speeding is against the law.

If you don't live in one of those places, then it simply does not apply
to you .. no matter what the EULA has to say.

In fact, the EULA is not imposing any restrictions beyond the license of
the software regarding what you can or can not do with it. The software
is free, the trademark and logo remain restricted.

I just wonder, why even bother with the EULA at all??
