I guess at some point there is may be monetary consideration given to
a distros philosophy. But perhaps there is also a divergence of the
way Ubuntu, and Debian before them, and some other distros, interpret
the GPL AND its philosophical origin. Regardless, there does seem to
be a lot of waiting ;)
