<div dir="ltr">Hello All,
<div>I will be reaching out to this person this afternoon to try
to get his side of the story. We will all agree that the
posting on CraigsList is extremely vague and leaves A LOT of
room for speculation and the article on Softpedia covering the
story was written in a way that it could incite anger, lets
not fall for it until we get both sides of the story. A
journalist should NEVER publish a one sided story without at
least making an attempt to reach out to the other party
involved. Lets not question this persons intelligence or
resort to insults. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If this person is actually charging users $30.00 to install
Ubuntu Gnome on their machine and make sure everything works,
then this person is doing nothing wrong and in many ways
should be an inspiration to the community as this person is
helping to spread Ubuntu Gnome to his local area. I personally
would love to see such grass-root businesses spring up all
over the place to not only do the install but also provide
support. If this is the case, I will ask this person to
re-write the CraigsList posting to be much more clear and in a
way that it respects the Ubuntu and Gnome trademarks. <br>
</div>

We don't know what the person's limitations might be ........ maybe
English is not his/her native language. Why stir the pot? Is he
actually doing anyone any harm? Has anyone actually complained that
they've been negatively impacted (aka; ripped off)?<br>
<br>
I truly suggest we just drop this to avoid sounding like a bunch of
kids fighting over who gets to use the sand box.<br>

<div>However if this person is simply downloading the ISO and
burning it to a DVD/Flash Drive then I will try my best to
educate him about the ethical issues of selling "free
software". I would ask that he discontinue this and if it does
continue then we will need to decide our next steps.</div>

Even then I see no real problem. I've created a vast number of live
DVD's at no cost to the recipient, but I do accept donations to
cover my out-of-pocket costs. Live USB's w/persistence are a
different story. The cost of USB sticks varies greatly but $30 is
about what I charge for a 32GB live USB, again just to recover my
out-of-pocket costs and a bit for my time.<br>

</span>its even stated on that page, and I quote<br>
"While Ubuntu will not charge licence fees for this
distribution, you might want to charge to print Ubuntu CDs,
or create your own customised<br>
versions of Ubuntu which you sell, and should have the
freedom to do so."<br>
<br>
Of course they have tightened up the trademark rules a bit
since that was written, however it should still apply to
unmodified images.<br>

</span>I don't have time to listen to random interviews, but
really I don't see what all fuss is about. Softpedia are
click-baiting and hyping things<br>
up. But what would I know, I'm only the co-founder and
Technical lead of Ubuntu GNOME....<br>
