Hello, I'm new to Ubuntu, new to FOSS, GNU ... but Precisely the idea of freedom attracted me to this wonderful community and now is Ubuntu my primary OS (and for my company). All I have to say about this EULA thing is: If you tell me "you will be free if you do this", then I'm not free!

Exactly everything what freedom means has contributed to what Firefox is today. Perhaps we should remind them to it. People make, people take. And nobody uses Firefox because of its name, its because of those fine features.

uBrowser, aBrowser, cBrowser ... do we really need another free browser? There are already a couple free browsers available. Improve them, do not reinvent the wheel. As long as the right features are there, people will quickly accept what ever you give them. Of course, the best way if you ask me - propose to Mozilla that Ubuntu will contain original Firefox, but without EULA. Otherwise, Ubuntu is forced to find another default browser, simple as that.

Just for info - I use Firefox since v0.7 and I like it very much. But I'm ready to switch to another browser because of this, even to another Linux distribution if it goes out of control.

@cruiseoveride
your idea of having u-whatever like mac is #$%$&. Ubuntu is not about some stupid corporate identity. Ubuntu did not accomplish all that success while copying: It is successful because it is better than others, and it is better because it is different. And we have Mark to lead us, of course :)
