Firefox 3 EULA raises a ruckus

This is not solving the problem. Solving the problem makes it go away. We have to deal with this for every distribution every time Mozilla coughs. Even if Ubuntu negotiates some right to distribute the software, it kills the end user's right to fork the distribution.

I was personally hoping for Iceweasel. It's not as if any one would notice the difference if the fox was gone. Just call it "Web Browser" in the Ubuntu desktop instead and be done with it.

The Mozilla Foundation has been arrogant with this issue right from the start, as if Firefox was somehow so important no one could do without it. What if all software started behaving like this? There would be thousands of EULAs in a normal distribution. And the possibilities of Live CD:s or read only embedded systems would be effectively gone.
