Ubuntu, Firefox and License Issues
,----[ Quote ]
| The most important thing here is to acknowledge that yes, the content of the
| license agreement is wrong. The correct content is clear that the code is
| governed by FLOSS licenses, not the typical end user license agreement
| language that is in the current version. We created a license that points to
| the FLOSS licenses, but we’ve made a giant error in not getting this to
| Ubuntu, other distributors, and posted publicly for review. We’ll correct
| this asap.

| Thanks for clearing up the issue of the EULA’s content, Mitchell.
|
| Unfortunately, from what I’ve read over the last couple of days, I can’t find
| any serious concerns expressed about the _content_ of the EULA.
|
| Pretty much all of what’s being discussed publicly has been about the very
| existence of a EULA.
|
| “EULAs don’t belong in Free Software” seems to be the basic sentiment.
|
| I don’t know how one argues against that sentiment given that every major
| Linux distro I’ve installed had a EULA and yet that seems unproblematic to
| most of the people making the demands that Mozilla not have one.

Personas from Mozilla Labs give Firefox a sleek coat
,----[ Quote ]
| I probably won't use Personas much myself since I greatly prefer the
| unadulterated GTK look in Firefox 3, but the addon is very intriguing from a
| technical standpoint. The way that Personas takes Firefox's Internet
| capabilities and leverages theme to bring dynamic content to the Firefox
| chrome layer is very creative and it reflects a lot of possibilities that I
| had never previously considered.

Update on the Firefox 3 Linux Theme
,----[ Quote ]
| Work on the new linux theme for Firefox 3 is progressing nicely due to a very
| active group of contributers. To match the operating system’s theme,
| Firefox’s navigation toolbar will use native GTK icons.
