[Bug 68008] Re: Firefox (for Edgy) should not be in main
I'm sorry to have to say this, but I agree. Given that Ubuntu wants to only have free software in it's distrobution, keeping Firefox in it's current form would be sheer hypocrisy. -- Firefox (for Edgy) should not be in main https://launchpad.net/bugs/68008 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 68008] Re: Firefox (for Edgy) should not be in main
** Description changed: I was reading the Ubuntu components page - http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components , and I thought that having the official artwork etc. no longer qualifies the Ubuntu package of free software, which is a requirement of packages in main. Also the requirement can freely be redistributed is probably not the case for this packaging of Firefox. Firefox doesn't qualify as an exception, as it is not binary firmware and selected fonts that cannot be modified without permission from their authors. In fact, in order to modify Firefox and still call it Firefox, you need permission from Mozilla. I propose that this package should be moved to restricted, and the dfsg bit in the version number should be dropped, as this package doesn't comply with the DFSG. + + Disussion @ http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1656991 -- Firefox (for Edgy) should not be in main https://launchpad.net/bugs/68008 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm sorry, but even the DFSG allows The license may require derived works to carry a different name or version number from the original software. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed = Rejected -- Firefox (for Edgy) should not be in main https://launchpad.net/bugs/68008 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Right, but the package in its current state is not freely distributable, which is a requirement for main. I have to agree that it should be in restricted. -- Firefox (for Edgy) should not be in main https://launchpad.net/bugs/68008 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
