Inappropriate?You can distribute our most recent, official, unmodified binary with no additional work. You can also distribute modified binaries and source code; see our Licensing FAQ for more details

Inappropriate?I know this is an old thread.
But it is the right place to point something out: A while ago there was some fuzz about Firefox 3 displaying a license agreement at first run. There are some points that also seem to apply to Songbird.
- Linux users are not used to annoying EULAs to accept. It's labeled "free software", so what?
- The ALL CAPS WRITING does not help.
I know that there are copyright issues about the logo and feathers. But it's the same with Firefox. And there might be a less annoying way to state your copyright.
Songbird is a great app. As you are getting close to the 1.0 release, it should absolutely soon find its way into some linux distros. But an EULA popup might prevent maintainers from including it, at least that's what I think looking at the Firefox 3 discussion.
I’m not sure about all this

Inappropriate?Im late too but joux has a point, the all caps is the Internet equivalent to shouting and is considered quite rude. Also it makes it sorta difficult to read I find.
I’m undecided
