Ubuntu Community Manager: RMS's Post Seems a Bit Childish To Me

Posted by samzenpus on from the war-or-words dept.

spacenet writes "As a response to RMS speaking out against Ubuntu about its privacy-violating integrated Amazon search results, which he considers to be spyware, Ubuntu Community Manager Jono Bacon has addressed RMS's statements. In his reply, Jono claims that Stallman's views on privacy do not align with Canonical's, that some of his statements are worded in order to 'generate fear, uncertainty, and doubt about Ubuntu' and that 'it just seems a bit childish to me.' The comments on the post itself are well worth a read."

    Bacon hates RMS.

    But RMS _loves_ Bacon.

    I mean, have you seen RMS? That dude seriously loves him some bacon. And probably some donuts too.
