Ubuntu gave them reasonable terms

"Give us three quarters of the money you make, or we turn your revenue stream off entirely" would not be many people's idea of 'reasonable'.

Well we do give 100% of the revenue away as it is and in both the suggested options the benefactors are entities that supports us and our ecosystem.

I don't really see the problem and surely with being the default in a distribution such as Ubuntu the GNOME Foundation would still see a healthy income even at 25% from the Amazon integration.
