Sorry, that wasn't clear. I wasn't referring to the incompatibility of free software and commercialism. I was referring to Ubuntu's gradual shift away from their promise of always being free. Specifically, I would point out the recent "branding" updates to Firefox - that basically trick the user into accepting packages that merely promote Ubuntu. There's nothing inherently evil about it - but it was out of style for them, I think. There's also constant additions of packages and kernel modules that aren't REALLY 'free', etc... So what I really meant is that as Ubuntu gains popularity, I've noticed more and more that they're concerned with things other than providing a truly free OS. Not that I blame them - it's only natural as a company grows. But sometimes it worries me what will eventually become of Ubuntu.
