+ - Canonical threatened to kick Kubuntu out over name change-> 2

sfcrazy writes "In an interview Kubuntu's lead tells how Canonical once threatened Linux Mint that they needed a licence from Canonical./a Jonathan says, " I only had contact with the Linux Mint developer recently when Canonical claimed that they needed a licence to use the compiled packages from Ubuntu. This is a dangerous misunderstanding of copyright licencing from a company which should understand it. I advised Linux Mint to say some rude things to Canonical but I think they're too polite for that."

He also says that Canonical threatened to kick Kubuntu out if they changed the name of the project."

  • It is as though they are trying to destroy the linux community.

    - Lets give them a desktop experience they will hate
    - Lets make it worse
    - Lets threaten legal action against anyone who takes the shit we take from others and pass it off as not ours
    - Lets try to screw people out of money with stuff we didn't create

I would rather say that a desire to drive fast sports cars is what sets man apart from the animals.
