I guess this benefits open source software since any bug fix is a good thing, but why on earth would the department of homeland security be studying software. shouldn't they be worrying about things like preventing biological attacks or improving how they handle natural disasters?
so are they going to make the computer nerds also learn how to stalk people's significant other's, that they think are boning other people on the side, to get the license? Now not only will system admins know what you're looking at online they'll know who you're seeing on the side.
Just seems like Bureaucratic waste to me by representatives that don't have the slightest idea what they are legislating about.
I imagine a lot of Ubuntu's users don't want to be guinea pigs for KDE 4, and to claim 3 years support for something that will only be supported for a fraction of that time would be dishonest. Besides 18 months of support isn't that bad considering with Ubuntu's 6 month release schedule they'll be on something like 10.2 before support for 8.4 will be gone.
