Strange that you quote that article for the accusation about Ubuntu and the only takeaway that you had was that "it is not contributing". Maybe you have not read the article in full, but it actually presents a quite well-balanced view on those accusations. I quote a snippet here: """ There is no doubt that Ubuntu could do better than it has. But we should not lose track of what Ubuntu has done. Ubuntu has created a distribution which appeals to a whole new class of Linux users. The fact that much of this work was done elsewhere notwithstanding, Ubuntu has shown that a Linux system can wear a friendlier, easier-to-use face. In the process, it has made Debian suitable for a larger class of users. Ubuntu has shown that a Debian-based distribution can make regular, stable releases and still ship contemporary software. Ubuntu has lived up to its promises of support, including providing top-quality security support. And all of this is happening in a way that, we are told, should become commercially self-sustaining at some point.
