Comment 285 for bug 269656

Hi! Mitchell Baker has made a post on this topic:

http://blog.lizardwrangler.com/2008/09/15/ubuntu-firefox-and-license-issues/

The most important take away is that we (Mozilla) has been working on a new license for quite a while that makes it clear that the code is governed by FLOSS licenses and that we didn't make Ubuntu of Canonical aware of the new licenses before they put the old one into their packages, hence a lot of the confusion.

Mitchell and others will be making posts on the topic over the next few weeks in order to get feedback on the new license, so stay tuned.
