Comment 79 for bug 375345

Well, as I member of the Ubuntu community, I don't have any complaints to see Canonical using Ubuntu's name to offer a product of their own. I don't feel offended at all, for I feel Canonical as actually one of the most valuable members of the Ubuntu Community.

I feel no abuse of power, nor think they want to take advantage of the Community.

On the contrary, I feel grateful to have such a honest and commited company behind the OS that I use and that I promote using.

I don't see why people get offended as a community to see Canonical using their name. I feel Canonical is part of our community, and I agree with Mark in that even if diverse, both really share our values of freedom.

Contrary to those who disagree with Canonical using Ubuntu's name to offer a commercial service, I think that if Canonical can find of any use using Ubuntu's name... well, serve yourself. The more you (Canonical) can grow commercially, the more resources they will have to continue contributing to the development of Ubuntu.

Ubuntu needs Canonical, and I trust them and thank them for what they do. They're good guys.

Let's not let our fears against dicatorships and abuse of power fold our eyes and prevent us from seeing that there can be people, who in spite of being in power, work for the good of all.

I believe in Canonical, I respect the company, and hope they can continue growing financially and supporting us, the Ubuntu Community.

It's like they say: you can't just live out of love... with an empty wallet. Let's be realistic, and accept the possibility that both worlds need each other, and can coexist and grow at the same time.

Good luck with this Mark, and Canonical.
