Hi all,

For all those that go ga-ga over Ubuntu, which includes government
departments promoting a single GNU/Linux Distro policy based on
Ubuntu, here is perhaps a lesson and cautionary tale!

Unfortunately it is not a "tale", its entirely true

Forget Free Software (or Software freedom), its questionable if you'll
remain even Open Source in the long run. Here is what RMS has to say
about the "Open Core" argument
