Toward a "modern" Emacs

The problem with the word "bad" is that it's ridiculously subjective. Canonical is, to the best of my knowledge, still shipping ZFS binaries, which may or may not be a GPL violation depending on which group of lawyers you ask (e.g. the SFC and the SFLC disagree), and as far as I can tell, nobody has sued them or expressed any interest in doing so. We may never get a legal resolution to this case, and we may never know whether this is a violation or not.

Is Canonical a "bad actor" within your definition?
