Looks like Steve is an employee of Canonical. Yes, I could have found that out, but are you really expected to check every person submitting to this mailing list before sending a mail to it. I don't think that should be a requirement, this list is about Debian, who is contributing to free software. Nevertheless, I think too much of commercial software is enforced on the community due to company agendas. And the CLA licence is definitely not good with respect to free software development. > > Yes, I'm prepared to take the flames! > > Debian's technical lists aren't, nor do they belong there. I was maybe overreacting, but the main issue remains: Debian is working according to their social contract, and the principles should not be overridden by commercial interests. Debian main interest is and should in the future also be focused on their users, nothing else!! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
