     @bobbyhaley -- sadly, it is not free software.

     @mattl yeah, that is true. there is the free 2 gig plan though. just enough to explore and tinker with to see if it'd be worth the $10/month

     @bobbyhaley -- it's still proprietary, $0 or otherwise. why is proprietary software carrying the Ubuntu name? !ubuntu

     @mattl @bobbyhaley the protocol is open, AFAIK, and honestly, once it's on the cloud, it's out

     @mattl @bobbyhaley even IF the software is libre, you still have to trust whoever hosts it

     @mattl @bobbyhaley and I trust Canonical explicitly. Unless they show themselves to be the new SCO

     @edythemighty -- i trust myself quite well.

   • Ed Fonseca Matt Lee

     @mattl i should hope so. i wouldn't want to trust someone who doesn't trust himself

     @mattl pretty sure confucious or someone around his time said that

     @edythemighty It's not *just* trust related. Why use identica over twitter?

   • bobby haley Ed Fonseca

     @edythemighty That is a damn good point. I think I'll stick to toying around with Linode.

     @cwebber i use both. and it certainly *is* a trust issue

   • Ed Fonseca Christopher Allan Webber

     @cwebber does it matter that identica is open source if someone pulls the plug and the data is lost?

     @mattl How about calling it #CanonicalOne ? Now there is another issue of trademark. That is different freedom than source code, right?

     Kind of interested to see what will happen to @mattl's bug.. will it sit as "unresolved" and uncommented forever? http://➡.ws/
