STR: 1) Launch Camino or SeaMonkey (non-MoCo products) 2) type http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/EULA/ in the address field an hit enter 3) Note that you end up at http://en.www.mozilla.com/en/legal/eula/ which only has EULAs for MoCo products.
I believe the correct URL is http://www.mozilla.org/legal/eula/ Do we link to the other one? :-/
(In reply to comment #1) > I believe the correct URL is http://www.mozilla.org/legal/eula/ > > Do we link to the other one? :-/ > Yes, in about:license. But Camino is using the xpfe version, right? SeaMonkey is using the toolkit version...
Ew, yes. Sounds like the toolkit one needs to be fixed. Alternatively, we could link to http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/licensing.html, but that's a bit more detail than most users want (not that the EULA isn't...).
Yeah, the toolkit one looks wrong for seamonkey anyway since it says "Official binaries of this product released by the Mozilla Corporation are made available under the corresponding EULA." Hmm.
(In reply to comment #4) > Yeah, the toolkit one looks wrong for seamonkey anyway since it says "Official > binaries of this product released by the Mozilla Corporation are made > available under the corresponding EULA." Hmm. Bug 368091 We should have the Foundation EULA page redirect to http://www.mozilla.org/legal/eula/ since that page lists all the Foundation EULAs and provides prominent links to Corp EULAs.

Yeah, or possibly just redirect SeaMonkey/Camino (you'll use the toolkit one sooner or later) and at the same time tweak the wording in toolkit's license.html to say something like: "Official binaries of this product released by Mozilla Corporation or Mozilla Foundation are made available under the corresponding EULA.".
fwiw, re bug 368091: whatever happens with the redirect I think we need a temporary fix for the toolkit license.html since seamonkey already includes it...
(In reply to comment #6) > Yeah, or possibly just redirect SeaMonkey/Camino (you'll use the toolkit one Redirecting based on app will work fine for browser-apps, but if you open this file in Tb or Sb (assuming it opens in a chrome window instead of just your default browser to begin with), clicking that link should open it your default browser, which may not be an app that will get you redirected to to right page for your non-browser-app's EULA. :-(

So, if it's a problem with the app content itself, is there anything for me to do on www.mozilla.org?

Depending on the ability to get a short-term fix of bug 368091, we may still end up needing to globally redirect http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/EULA/ to some place not MoCo-specific. (Just *reading* the URL itself screams we should redirect it to another relevant /foundation/ page ;) but AFAIK the only place that URL is mentioned/used/linked is in the client apps, so if the client apps are fixed, it's not pressing....)

I think I'll dupe this one. Whatever we have to do on m.o, we still need to tweak toolkit's license.html because we need to change the wording. And if we change the wording, we could change the URL at the same time. If nothing have happened with bug 368091 when it's release-time, a new bug for a m.o hack should probably be filed...
