And also Xen, which has a very strict trademark policy.. Citrix  does
not require such nonsense,why should Mozilla?

Sorry folks, I'm done promoting Ubuntu. The lack of response from Ubuntu
tells all, barring a few emails from Mark asking us to STFU.

Redhat negotiated the first patent deal that is agreeable with GPL3,
what has Ubuntu done other than tweak the work of others  (i.e Debian) ?

Good luck Mark..
