Dalo Harkin Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Canonical and Ubuntu have gotten some backlash from their users prompting a recent update in which they are given the added burden of the Firefox EULA without their consent. The issue at hand is that Mozilla is requiring Canonical to include the EULA for their browser with all new releases if they continue to want to use the Firefox name. It apparently stems from a trademark issue, and doesn't actually restrict the user in any fashion. Of course, that's not why the users are upset – they are upset because it seems unnecessary. The owner of the company seems to side with the users. He sees the inclusion of the EULA as mostly pointless. He does see why Mozilla is requiring the inclusion of the EULA, but calls the decision “unfortunate.” Sourced from Canonical in hot water over Firefox EULA - TechSpot News Quote Intel Q6600 @ 4Ghz (Watercooled)Asus P5K premium black pearl4GB OCZ Reaper 8500260GTX Join Free PC Help - Register here Donations are welcome - here PC Build We are all members helping other members.Please return here where you may be able to help someone else.After all, no one knows everything and you may have the answer that someone needs.
