Here is a complete post on how mozilla is planning to roll this out: http://lockshot.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/firefox-eula-in-linux-distributions/
In short it says: "It is essentially structured in two portions, one dealing with the code, and one dealing with the services. The first part describes the license applicable to the code itself. The second part contains terms that govern use of optional services. From a presentation perspective, we’re of the view that it’s good for users to easily be able to see the license terms associated with their software; however, this doesn’t mean it has to be a poor user experience. We have adopted an approach that tries to conform to the way the distributor presents license info. In cases where there is only a first run page presented, we’ve proposed language to inform the user that there is a license agreement, and they can click a link to view the terms. In other cases, like corporate builds where an IT administrator is already presented with EULA terms, we’ve asked distributors to include the terms with the terms that are already presented. " They are asking for opinions, so if you have some constructive views. please go there and share. And please don't use that link for firefox bashing / Free software zealot bashing. I really believe they are going to take our view into account, and the last thing we need is to start a flame war to obscure the genuine opinions. Here is the quote: "Over the next few days, we’ll review any comments, and re-evaluate the draft language in light of the feedback.
