Clearly Fedora has found a solution which satisfies the practical usage problems of the current ALLCAPS in-your-face EULA. However as I understand it, Mozilla maintains that this is only a temporary solution and that a EULA is necessary. @Canonical: Keep on talking to Mozilla.
Both Tom Callaway's (http://spot.livejournal.com/299409.html) and Jeff Spaleta's (http://jspaleta.livejournal.com/) has interesting points. I suggest others to read those before engaging in the debate. The size of this is really getting out of hand. There may be a need for disclaiming liability for web services. But a situation where every FLOSS application using an integrated web-service has a EULA is clearly not a desirable solution to that problem. @Christopher Blizzard: I think Mozilla should put faith in the MPL, or else update the MPL. However, a (very) quick browse of the MPL yields "No one other than Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License." Does this mean the MPL is effectively frozen in its current state? That probably would mean trouble sooner or later. About transparency: While I think the community should have been made aware that talks was going on, I can see why Canonical did not want to involve the entire community in discussions. Reading these posts makes it painfully clear. .... (Well, seems the situation is changing as we (I) speak.) Hoping to be using Mozilla software for many more years. /Sebastian Bengtsson -- AN IRRELEVANT LICENSE IS PRESENTED TO YOU FREE-OF-CHARGE ON STARTUP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269656 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
