I think they view GNU and GPL explanations as not very friendly to their perceived audience which is the common computer user. Branding it Ubuntu in their view makes it simpler to understand. I think they want to be like OS X and relegate discussions of BSD and Mach Kernel to some really hard to find page.
At least that's how i'm interpreting their pr stuff.
- jberryman 16y agoYeah, I agree. But I think the branding of Ubuntu as this "immaculately-conceived" OS is what annoys a lot of folks who know a bit about linux. I think a simple mention on their front page would be enough.
