I think we should compare and contrast Firefox and Iceweasel or IceCat
EULA's and then talk about posibility to include or exclude firefox from
default ubuntu install. As of now, i see only very few people in this
discussion which does understand all differences between using branded
and unbranded firefox version. It does not matter id it shows EULA or
not in the separate window or in new browser tab or how fast you can
accept it and close it, it matters how EULA affects you and what
freedoms does it take from you.

And one more thing. EULA should be carefuly examined to avoid things like this:
One person in ubuntuforums has noticed that you are not allowed to install 
firefox if you disagree with EULA, but since it is installed by default, that 
means that by installing ubuntu you agree to firefox's EULA and if you don't 
want to, you can't install ubuntu.
