Comment 69 for bug 269656

First a separate, however related note; I would like to touch on a previously mentioned statement regarding the fact that we are discussing this on Launchpad. Mark and whomever at Canonical that participated in said "discussions" with Mozilla, and did *not* think this was a decision for the community has done a great disservice to the trust we place in them.

There is no excuse for the timing and seeming ignorance in allowing this to be the path at which the community now has to address the issue to Mozilla. The lack of trust and experience is simply offensive; If we can get Google to change their EULA for Chrome on Windows, surely we can pressure them and Mozilla to *drop* the EULA in Linux.

Secondly, it would be setting a terrible precedent to allow the *pre-installed* packages on Ubuntu to contain EULA's; regardless of popularity. If Firefox demands this, then let them enter the realm of restricted crap like Java and Codecs in the repository's and let the community decide what to replace it with.
