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

[EagleScreen]

I really agree with Raphael Bosshard.

I think it is unacceptable an EULA in a Free Software system as Ubuntu, and
I think a package in main repository shouldn't have any EULA to accept.

I am supporter of using Iceweasel in place of Firefox, to avoid these
problems now and in the future, Iceweasel is Firefox with other name, it is
compatible with Firefox plugins and extensions, so i don't see problems with
this. And becouse Iceweasel already exists, i do not see the reason for make
another fork of Firefox by name problems as like as abrowser.

Someone asked: Do you prefer Ice--- what? or the famous FIREFOX?

My answer is: Yes, I prefer Iceweasel than Firefox.
