Re: [LUG] DO NOT TOUCH CHROME

 

 As far as I'm aware Firefox has a EULA among other large GPL'd
projects, I've never seen it written anywhere that you cannot define
other restrictions, beyond the GPL. It's true EULAs are usually used
as an alternative to the GPL in proprietary software, however EULA is
simply a generic term for any agreement the user makes.
