Here are the options as I see them: 1) If you don't have a problem with EULAs in general: 1.1) Show the EULA as a popup window (what is currently implemented) 1.2) Show the EULA during the Ubuntu installation 1.3) Show a better popup explaining the EULA in plain English, and with a button to install an alternative browser 1.4) Show the EULA in a tab or in the default home page.
2) If you do oppose EULAs the only option is to have another browser installed by default. This browser could be: 2.1) Epiphany 2.2) IceWeasel 2.3) abrowser 2.4) An Ubuntu-branded version of Firefox Option 1.1 is the worst possible choice in my opinion. To reach a consensus, Canonical and the Ubuntu community have to decide whether or not EULAs are acceptable. If they are, then Options 1.2 or 1.4 present a minimal amount of annoyance to the end user. If EULAs are deemed unacceptable, then I vote for Option 2.4: the Ubuntu brand is a strong one and the names "IceWeasel" or "abrowser" don't particularly inspire much confidence. And the default home page can contain a panel explaining that the Ubuntu browser is a rebranded Firefox. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
