First of all, thanks a lot for your in-depth answer to my previous comment (which I've noticed only now due to some lingering weirdness in pump.io notifications ;-)). I wonder, did you get specific negative / anti-canonical feedbacks to your video interview with Mark this time? Yes, I'm very well aware of vitriolic anti-canonical feedback in other occasion, but this time, at least the discussion here on pump.io seems decent enough. It's "just" people with different limit-of-compromise, as you put it, but they all seem quite supportive of the attempt of having a "more" free smartphone on the market, don't you think? Just checking if our respective perceptions are completely skewed, and in different directions, or if you were referring to past episodes :-)Simon Phipps, Christopher Allan Webber likes this.

I think that's a gross exaggeration. Ubuntu has been a huge step forward for GNU/Linux and Canonical has been integral to that success.Ladislav Ezr, Simon Phipps likes this.
I'm really underwhelmed by Canonical's commercial success. That's by far the biggest problem I have with them. Anyone can ship...Mike Linksvayer at 2012-12-22T22:22:57+00:00

...problematic free software, with evil proprietary bits, and mouth off (many do all), few plausibly could break through to mass market.
Can you enumerate some of those steps?
