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

[Matthew Lange]

As far as retaining a trademark, I believe the requirement is that it
not fall into common use, IE 'Kleenex', etc. (Hence Kleenex-Brand
tissues), or 'Google' (as a verb), and that the company assert dominance
over the name (hence the previous scandal over not being allowed to use
the name Google as a verb).

I'm pretty sure that this trademark dominance is accomplished simply by
naming the applications Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, and
this is clearly stated in the User-Agent, the Titlebar, and the Help >
About... screen.

Although I'm not against an EULA, I would like to see Ubuntu work with
Mozilla to come up with a special version that doesn't include all the
extraneous wording, or as suggested previously, to show a common-sense
EULA, and link to the full EULA if the user wants (something like
about:eula)
