[Bug 269656] Re: AN IRRELEVANT LICENSE IS PRESENTED TO YOU FREE-OF-CHARGE ON STARTUP

[nullack]

Can I suggest please Mark that the page that shows this license Mozilla
require have a link to another page, or possibly some wording within the
existing page, that is a plain english FAQ like explanation. It could
explain in plain english what the basic situation is. When I was
confronted with it, my immediate questions in mind were what is this and
how does this effect me? Then, dam, I dont want to spend the time having
to understand this. A plain english FAQ could address topics like:

* why its necessary
* how it does / does not change what rights I have to modify the software, give it to others etcetc
* what it means in practice

If the single issue is just their trademark, I think Mozilla deserve our
respect and recognition of the software they have built. Its a good
browser and I'm thankful to them for it.

As you say Mark, I'm not a legal expert - I have faith in your judgement
and those at Ubuntu who are skilled in the legal  area. Im an ICT
Project expert, I'd like to continue contributing my time to add value
in that area that I know, and for someone skilled specifically in the
legal area to explain what this means for me and other enthusiasts of
your project.
