Question: Are you aware of the outrage over the EULA of Firefox?

iPhone uses ARMv6 as far as I remember… My phone has ARMv5 CPU, touchscreen and is said to be capable of running (not yet realesed) Opera 9.5 mobile…
I do really hope you guys optimize code to let it run on less powerful devices :)
Drive-by commenting, but Fedora talked to the RH lawyers and managed to get rid of their EULA in F7.
