Nailed it.

I might be missing the point here, but from reading Felix's previous
messages, I believe he's more concerned that someone sold him a car
without a jack...

Morgan,

Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen this article before.

It describes how to modify the binary and not the source. I'm looking to
remove the EULA dialog from the source altogether, so the resulting
packages do not have it. Or alternatively allow you to reject the terms
but still use the program.

It seems no'one has looked into this yet, so I will have a look this
weekend.

Rejecting the Firefox EULA in Ubuntu

2008-09-15 Thread Sean Hodges
Is there an easy way to reject the EULA on the Firefox shipped with
Ubuntu and still be able to use the software? Has anyone patched the
source code to remove this yet?

I'm not just an end-user of the software, and I do not want to mess
around with licence agreements each time I want to modify parts of it
that could be construed as branding.

If someone has a solution right now, I'll roll a package and point to it
on the Wiki.
