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

"I get the impression that Ubuntu isn't the right distro for you. Ubuntu
aims to be convenient and easily accessible. You're looking for maximum
stealth."

Actually I do other things for maximum stealth (and lack there of).

I do have an issue where, what appears as a hypocritical, including
encumbered software into a free package.  Ubuntu does not include the
better drivers for NVadia (I know maximum the other way).  Why should it
include software that is "put its nose under the tent", then trying to
hide the fact.

EULA was honest in one way - To get the user to agree about what they
are doing.   With the last mock I have seen, the Service License is
hidden (unless you press a button), and then it is "below the fold".
This is not being honest.

If Ubuntu supports this where is it "moral compass pointing"?

I choose Ubuntu for easy of use, getting my wife and kids to use.  I
liked the update feature and understood what it was going to do before
installing Ubuntu and being used the first time.  I even liked how
NVadia were available with a two step (in my case 3 step) install.  But
not to giving same treatment to FireFox is wrong with it encumbered code
by default, is where I see the hypocritical issue come to play.
