Moving M13 bugs due to Samir's vacation

Comment 2

[Grace Bush]

This bug may have gone away with new license file that is included

Comment 3

[Samir Gehani]

Yes, I added a couple of lines at the bottom, purposely :o)  This is still a bug 
though.

Comment 4

[Samir Gehani]

This has been temporarily worked around by adding a line in the License file.  
Moving off to M20.

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

Samir, the blank lines you inserted have disappeared, so again I can't read the 
last line of the license.

I think this is a blocker. Legally, if I can't read the whole of a license, how 
am I supposed to accept its terms?

Comment 6

[Samir Gehani]

I was talking about the commercial license in my comments above, I believe.  At 
any rate, it's worth it no note that this is just a placeholder license.  
Someone from the mozilla community should supply a license they want displayed 
if different from the MPL.  If we find that this is in fact the license that 
should be displayed I'll toss in the extra line at the end.  Thanks for 
noticing.

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

Calling Mitchell ... Does a Mozilla user need to read and accept the MPL license 
in order to install Mozilla, or can we get rid of that blasted license screen 
altogether in non-commercial builds?

updating mac mozilla installer QA contact to me

Comment 9

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

I think we can elimintae this in the mozilla installer.  should we update this
bug to reflect that or file a new one.

Comment 10

[Samir Gehani]

Asa,
"elimintae this in the mozilla installer"  I'm not clear what you want to 
eliminate?  The license dialog?  It is non-trivial since the ``Show Dialog'' 
feature was cut for the Mac installer.  :(

Comment 11

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

See bug 51499.

Comment 12

[timeless]

Is the license only appearing on macos? [I'm trying to run through the win32 
installer and all open installer bugs] I don't see the license on win32.

Comment 13

[Samir Gehani]

timeless,
The license is presented on Linux too.

Comment 14

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

Timeless: like I said, see bug 51499 ...

[Removing ui keyword because this does not require any UI design work]

Comment 15

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

perhaps we could replace it with a readme or something for mozilla builds.  In
the case that we keep the dialog (with either a license or a readme) then we
would need to fix the problem of not ebing able to see the last line of the
scrolling content.

Comment 16

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

mitchell says we need this. 

Comment 17

[Samir Gehani]

Asa,
If we need the license, then is the current version the correct one (MPL 1.1 I 
believe)?

Comment 18

[Matthew T (active 1999-2002)]

If we need the license, then why isn't it present in the Windows and Linux 
installers? That's a pretty striking omission.

Comment 19

[Samir Gehani]

mpt,
It *is* in fact present in the Linux installers.  :o)

Comment 20

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Samir, yes, MPL 1.1 is our current license.  It seems to only be missing from
the mozilla windows installer.

Comment 21

[Samir Gehani]

Sean,
See last comment by Asa.  It appears that the Win32 mozilla installer needs to 
display MPL 1.1.

Comment 22

[Adam]

Since the license is required, this bug remains "Can't see bottom half of the
last line of EULA." This problem is still present in recent installers.

Comment 23

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Changing obsolete M20+ milestones to closest equivalent, "Future"

Comment 24

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Bringing on radar. Isn't this a dup of a bugscape bug (or vice versa)? If so 
let's close that one and keep the public one.

Comment 25

[Daniel Veditz [:dveditz]]

Moz 0.9 tasks

Comment 26

[Samir Gehani]

Work-around is to put an extra line in the file... way easier and safer than any
fix in the installer itself.

Comment 27

[Samir Gehani]

Fixed while looking in the area this week.
