Actually I'm leaning more to just nuking the EULA panel in firstboot like 
I already killed off up2date.  I'm not imposing any restrictions on WB and 
none of the component licenses (GPL, BSD, Artistic, Apache, etc) do 
either.  (as opposed to redistribution/copying)

Hmm.  Gotta run through it again and check, I just plug in our inhouse ntp 
server without thinking.

Couldn't think of what to put there to replace the trademark laden
defaults and finally had the idea.  Distros get all the credit these days
but without Moz, XFree86 and the FSF they wouldn't have much to
distribute.
