(Get the code!)
@michael thompson:
that's a technicality, I have already agreed that it is absurd to say that canonical has violated its own license. I have repeatedly said that this is not a legal issue. Canonical OWNS the trademark, they have all the legal right to use it for whatever they see fit, or license it to whomever they see fit.
They also have the legal right to drop all GPL licensed code and turn ubuntu into a propietary OS, mind you.
This is not a court of law.
the issue is:
if its called Ubuntu,
(everyone would logically think that) it is part of ubuntu.
ubuntu must conform to the ubuntu philosophy,
ubuntu one does not.
stop calling it ubuntu one, or make it part of ubuntu properly (ie, open source it, etc etc).
or redefine what "ubuntu" means, in the context of free software, which means redefining what the "ubuntu community" is.
