http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/reviews/6536/1/ *Battle Brews Over Firefox in Ubuntu 8.10 - Michael Larabel of Phoronix reports that Mozilla Firefox 3.0.2, which is slated for inclusion in Intrepid, will require users to accept an End-User License Agreement (EULA). Mark Shuttleworth weighed in on the subject stating the EULA is a reasonable requirement and that Mozilla is simply protesting their trademark. In fact, Ubuntu has similar guidelines about use of their Trademark. A number of users are not pleased and state that “mandating this EULA is going too far”. Shuttleworth also states that "abrowser", a new package in Intrepid, will use only the codebase behind Firefox and therefore avoid the need for a EULA. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NjcxOA http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/0,1000000121,39488217,00.htm http://darthchaosofrspw.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/is-ubuntu-about-to-become-yet-another-restrictive-commercial-os/ http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_bulletproofx_2&num=1 http://www.linux-magazine.com/online/news/kroah_hartman_attacks_canonical http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.phtml/17730/18754/toshiba-nb100-netbook-uk.phtml |
