ethical ubuntu

[Jack Wasey]

I'd like to invite comments on the new spec:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EthicalInfo

"Ubuntu has a clear policy on using open and free standards. Making installation 
of Skype and several other applications easy undermines this policy. Some 
software or services have poor ethical reputations. The purpose of this spec is 
to allow the user to make an informed decision about what they install, and to 
offer free, open and ethical alternatives."

I think Ubuntu should be thinking about more than opposition to proprietary, 
closed-source software and protocols. Other things are bad, too, and Ubuntu can 
play a valuable part in informing people of how their choices of software affect 
the real world, not just the free software world.

Thanks,
Jack
