Perhaps for the home user it is acceptable to just click some EULA that isn't legally upholding anyway.
But this destroys Ubuntu for corporate usage. Every application that is offered to the users and that ships with a EULA will need that EULA to be verified by the lawyers.
Since an open source operating system contains a lot of different software using a lot of different trademarks and everything; this could lead to situtation where there are too many EULA's ..and deploying linux becomes the more expensive option.
Besides, there is enough trademark confusion anyway. Is it firefox? Is it Ubuntu? Is it gnome? Is is Linux? Is it Debian?
We might even consider having less trademarks a good thing. Just one: Ubuntu.
