     @alpha13 Shuttleworth probably dreams about that....

     @fabsh It will be a touch screen device. Warren Woodford made some interesting observations on the future of linux on !tllts this week !lo

     @vk7hse Ubuntu doesn't steal anything from Debian, it's GPLed after all. This concerns Canonical's own projects like upstart etc.

     @alpha13 Meh. Lots of people say a lot about the future about touchscreens and "the cloud". I'm not buying it....

     @lxnews one has to read completely the article you linked in order to get that. If one only reads you, won't get the full message.

     @ruiseabra Which is exactly why I link to the source.

     @fabsh especially now canonical is being all proprietary (or so it seems) I'm happy fedora 15 steps off of upstart for systemd.

     @andreasr systemd seems awesome. Although I'm using good old init on !arch ATM.

     @lauroman Firstly that is a dubious benefit and I'm not sure it's necessary. !Conservancy seems to suggest otherwise,

   • Fabian Scherschel Laurențiu Roman

     @lauroman Secondly, give me one case where Canonical did GPL enforcement.

     Monday, 16-May-11 06:42:57 UTC
   • Fabian Scherschel Laurențiu Roman

     @lauroman Canonical never has done GPL enforcement AFAIK. So why should we give them our copyrights for that reason then?

     @fabsh Canonical is all about harmony and unity :-)

     @jwildeboer Don't make me invoke Godwin again..... ;)

   • Fabian Scherschel Laurențiu Roman

     @lauroman You are muddling the issue. You said good point about copyright assignment is it makes enforcement easier....

     Monday, 16-May-11 07:35:57 UTC
   • Fabian Scherschel Laurențiu Roman

     @lauroman ....and I said that clearly isn't an argument in this case as Canonical doesn't do nor want to do enforcement.
