This EULA business has little to do with trademarks and everything to do
with the Mozilla Corporation trying to assert power. Think about the
timing, Chrome hits the street and the next thing you know Moz Corp is
trying to strongarm Ubuntu (and others) into making it very clear to
users that they are using Firefox. Not only that, but Moz Corp asserts
that power when we have the least possible choice about whether to
comply.

IMHO, the only reasonable response to this blackmail attempt is a total
rejection of the offer. We should throw this thing back in their faces
and say "drop the EULA or get dropped from Ubuntu".

I haven't even got started on ethics and licenses, and I won't, because
this is about power more than principles. If we give in now, we'll be at
the mercy of Moz Corp for a very very long time.
