"Users of Ubuntu can be thankful, then, that you're not Mark Shuttleworth. As far as I can tell, his purpose in starting the project is, and continues to be, an operating system with freedom as the focus."

Umm.. You completely missunderstood everything I said.

Redhat Linux is "Free as in Freedom", but not "Free as in Free Beer". Ubuntu wants to differentiate itself by being "Free as in Free Beer" + "Free as in Freedom" like how Redhat used to be.

Mark is saying he can pull it off were Redhat decided it wasn't working out for them. That's what I am talking about.
