Preventing commercial posting is more than a wee bit severe, it is 
just plain severe.

I am very strongly in support of acceptance of commercial activity as 
long as it is related to Ubuntu, and with in the Ubunu code of 
conduct.  It would be very counterproductive to restrict coverage.

I have great respect for undiluted FLOSS objectives and I would donate 
to FSF, however, I believe it is paramount that positive encouragement 
is given to Ubuntu and related activities.
