688259 - http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/ should be http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/legal/

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrei Hajdukewycz [:sancus]]

There are two urls that exactly match between mozilla.com and mozilla.org --
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/eula/
http://www.mozilla.org/legal/eula/

This means that there's a collision here, and you won't get the Firefox version unless you include the l10n string. The firefox/mozilla.com url should really be:

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/legal/eula/

I propose that the mozilla.com/legal stuff be moved/rewritten to be mozilla.org/firefox/legal so that it will never collide with the /legal/ bits on mozilla.org

John, care to chime in?

Comment 2

[John Slater]

That sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Liz, any concerns or comments?

Both pages have EULAs, they aren't our main legal notices, so I think EULA should stay in the URLs. One option would be to combine the two pages and have one section be old Firefox and Thunderbird EULAs and the other section be Mozilla Project EULAs or something like that. Any reason not to do that?

Maybe the explanation isn't clear: I wasn't saying to remove EULA from the url, I was proposing that http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/eula/ should become http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/legal/eula/ and indeed that everything under the old mozilla.com /legal/ folder should be prefixed with /firefox/ to avoid any future collisions with mozilla.org /legal/ stuff.

Thanks for the clarification. I still think it would be better to combine the two pages. 

If they aren't combined, the only minor problem I see for that page being in a firefox folder is that it also includes Thunderbird EULAs. Maybe that doesn't matter. 

I don't think all legal stuff that was on mozilla.com should be in a folder prefixed with firefox because most of it is not firefox specific. That said, I don't know what was included under the old mozilla.com /legal/ folder. The legal notices page that applies to all our websites is currently located at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal.html. Were you thinking of moving that too?

The Mozilla products are now EULA-free, and http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/eula/ describes that.
