You trying to convince us or yourself? The issue here is canonical embracing open source with one hand and stealing from it with the other. No rules are being broken there but the high and mighty "we know best" attitude is the mark Canonical is leaving on the very community it relies on. The smoke and mirrors people think is the success haven't been founded in any reality I've seen and people will start to notice that. Afterall, Mark continues to hemorrhage money into Canonical at least until he gets bored. I've yet to see any solid numbers of Ubuntu's success beyond Google trends. People will get bored as they realize those in charge continue to hold a carrot in front of them, they'll move on.

Or if you are, you need to improve your writing skills. I acknowledge the effort you made in writing this comment. Sadly, as it is written, it would be very difficult to reply to while keeping the discussion meaningful.

Why attack the argument when you can attack the speaker? What a common fallacy you've just committed. No need to respond, your actions will speak louder, let us know when that launchpad is OSS. Have a nice day.
Ubuntu, security response, and community contributions Posted Jul 23, 2008 19:49 UTC (Wed) by ddaa (guest, #5338) [Link] How interesting. I made a point of attacking only your writing. I even suggested you might be of good faith but that you just failed at clear expression.
