Linux Mint Diverting Banshee Revenue

Posted by samzenpus on Monday December 12, 2011 @02:40AM from the getting-their-cut dept.

LinuxScribe writes "According Linux Mint founder Clement Lefebvre, the popular Linux Mint distribution has changed the Amazon.com affiliate code for the Banshee music player so that Mint, not Canonical or the GNOME Foundation, will receive the revenue from MP3 sales through Banshee. Though a trivial amount of money ($3.41 in November 2011), Linux Mint's actions still raise the question: how should revenue be shared between upstream and downstream FLOSS projects?"

Very true. It's just too bad that you referred to it as "gansta". I don't normally respond like this, but your comment smacks of racism and ethnocentrism. Just please be more careful with your criticism. Cheers, mate.
