Is Ubuntu Selling Out or Growing Up?
AlexGr notes an article by Jeff Gould where he says "
Sometimes I wonder whether Ubuntu is really an open source software company any more.
Yes, yes, I realize Ubuntu is not a company at all but a free Linux distribution, GPL'd and open source by definition. But still, the Ubuntu distro is sponsored by a traditional for-profit company. The answer that has recently emerged to this question is, "yes and no."
Yes, of course, because Ubuntu's web site promises that the distro "will always be free of charge, including enterprise releases and security updates." But Ubuntu the enterprise ecosystem — understood as the collection of desktops and servers running Ubuntu in a given organization — is not."
the cake and the distro are a lie!

I want to delete my account but Slashdot doesn't allow it.

It's like a little desert island, the black hole of outer space.

I wish I was half as successful, or had a quarter of his cash,
Cause you gotta know he's got the dough to take care of that funky rash.
I hope he never hears this song or he'll put me in my place

It could be a smudge, or a piece of fudge, a huge freckle out of place.
Hell, it could be melanoma, get that spot erased!!
