Can I just correct a misunderstanding here: Firefox does not have a EULA, and there is no need to sign anything to use it. The builds you can download from www.mozilla.org are fully free software under the MPL 2. [It is true that we retain trademark control over use of the Firefox logo, which is probably why Iceweasel still exists - although, not being involved in that project, I couldn't say for definite.] Gerv -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
