It appears that Ubuntu is now requiring users to agree to a Firefox
EULA before being allowed to use the OS in the next release. From what
I've read, after installation, the user is presented with a EULA from
Mozilla that they must agree to when booting the machine for the first
time. Debian chose not to go that route by rebranding Firefox as
Iceweasel. I wonder if this is going to become normal in Linux?
