Worth pointing out that the FSF have specifically called out Canonical/Ubuntu, for failing to behave in keeping with Free Software values. [0] Stallman has also mentioned Ubuntu in his talks, as a rare counterexample of how Free software is generally free from functionality that acts against the user's interests.

rms is a Saint, His virtue is unyielding to mortal pleasures. Such extreme asceticism is certainly not for everyone, so you shouldn't hold it against Canonical, for you are a sinner yourself.

  Even if I am a sinner, I only sin against myself. Canonical has no such compunctions.

  If free software jesus issues a fatwa against Ubuntu then I'm going to avoid it regardless.
