FireFox 3 EULA




I'm just watching Ubuntu's Launchpad kick off over the existence of an EULA in FireFox 3:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/269656
Which references a bug I raised in the Mozilla bugzilla a while ago:
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=439604

I've not yet migrated a workstation to Fedora 9, so I'm not sure how this is handled by Fedora, but I presume that the user is presented with the EULA as soon as they start FireFox?

I'm curious what the Fedora Project's take is on the situation - there are suggestions that Ubuntu may switch to IceWeasel in order to avoid the EULA. Ubuntu is one of the last distros I would expect to go to such lengths to protect their users from non-Free licences, given that they are (reasonably) happy about bundling non-Free drivers. But as an entirely Free distribution, is Fedora planning on following suit and dropping FireFox in favour of IceWeasel (or similar)?
