my 2 cents

1) If Mozilla's team doesn't want to be reasonable and discuss this with
the ubuntu community, ubuntu should behave in the same way. treating
Firefox as every other open source project included in the distro.
Firefox wants an EULA we don't want? We can use Iceweazel/Icedove as
debian does... and put the firefox package in the restricted repository.
End of the story.

2) Of course I think having the official firefox in ubuntu is the best
solution, we're similar projects and we have to be able to discuss and
find solultions together in order to for excellence together. But we
don't want an EULA to bother end users, and we don't want Firefox to be
perceived as a "restricted" package in ubuntu. If we're speaking about
corporate image, i think not being recognized as a "fully free" open
source project from other leading open source projects could only affect
firefox's image, not ubuntu's.

3) If ubuntu's community will adopt another browser instead of firefox,
I strongly disagree using something different from IceWeazel (why we
have to ruin firefox brand twice? abrowser is simply not a name). I
would rather see an epiphany-based distro!
