Mitchell Baker, Chairperson of Mozilla has admitted that it is silly that Firefox runs a EULA and an open source license. Firefox's EULA has raised concerns in the Linux community lately, with questions arising about the need and validity of the EULA.

Baker said that there is a need for something in between the open source license and the user, which is what Baker and Mozilla are actively working on. He said that when Firefox was first shipped a binary source code license seemed odd, so Mozilla created a EULA.

However ,now it is coming to the conclusion that is not necessary. The license agreement that we've been working on will now say, "Dear end user, you're using FOSS software and here are the open source licenses to look at if you'd like to, and enjoy them. " Ubuntu Linux founder, Mark Shuttleworth, this week attacked the EULA for Firefox saying that it was not a best practice for open source software.

Baker said that the move away from a EULA to something more in line with other open source approaches is appropriate for licensing on Linux.
