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

[RichardNeill]

EULAs don't belong in Linux. Not only are they a nuisance (imagine if
everyone starts that silly game), but they harm the principle of Free
Software - it's very hard to promote Linux as opposed to, say, MS, by
saying "Linux doesn't ask you to do anything nasty with EULAs - but look
at all the horrid stuff you consent to when you install $closed-app" -
only to find the rug pulled from under one's argument by Ubuntu doing
something daft. Remember what happened to XFree86 - the kindest thing we
can do to Firefox is to refuse to go along with it.
