That sounds good. Other companies trying to do business in China have
sometimes decided to compromise on such integrity issues to remain in the
local market. Because of some of the special circumstances that pertain
there, I believe it's important for Ubuntu as a project to make it clear up
front that it will always be the case that the integrity of the platform for
the user is paramount. If the product cannot be made available without
compromising the integrity of the platform for the user, then the project is
over.
Thanks,
