Would it be possible/acceptable to display the EULA during Ubuntu
install? I figure if pragmatism is the goal, then 'hiding' the EULA here
could satisfy Mozilla while not stirring up the general users with
changing the browser/displaying EULA at Firefox startup.

Of course, the whole thing rests on how important it is for Ubuntu to
have the Firefox branded browser. I have no idea what the most of users
expect to see when they try ubuntu (in many cases for the first time,
mind you). Maybe if you took Iceweasel and branded it with icons which
are similiar in color to Firefox - for example, take the globe and put
the orange ubuntu 'circle' segment around it. You get the idea -
similiar enough for Firefox users to notice it, but different enough to
keep the lawsuits away ;-) Once they start it up, they probably won't
care it's not called firefox.
