HEADLINE: Embrace the spirit of Open Source, not just comply with the letter of the law
DESCRIPTION:
Here's an extract from the Software Freedom Conservancy report on Canonical's licensing policy:
> Redistributors of Ubuntu have little choice but to become expert analysts of Canonical, Ltd.'s policy. They must identify on their own every place where the policy contradicts the GPL. If a dispute arises on a subtle issue, Canonical, Ltd. could take legal action, arguing that the redistributor's interpretation of GPL was incorrect. Even if the redistributor was correct that the GPL trumped some specific clause in Canonical, Ltd.'s policy, it may be costly to adjudicate the issue.
