RMS on Firefox:
"However, in regard to Firefox, I am sad to say that only the source
code is free. The Firefox binaries include a non-free module called
Talkback, whose sources are not available, and they carry an EULA
which is unacceptably restrictive. So these binaries are not free
software. This is why the free distributions of GNU/Linux have their
own binaries, with names such as Iceweasel and Burningdog, that are
made from the free Firefox sources."
I didn't know that.
