Without support for modern file systems, It can not be taken seriously.
They should not dismiss suggestions to adopt use of fuse based filesystems such as ntfs3g, as this may likely be the most direct way to get support for popular file systems.

Why is Cinnamon needed. Hasn't LXDE and/or XFCE filled that void?
Google was the best bet in bringing Java back to life.
But Oracle is suing Google for making Java somewhat popular again
I imagine even Google will give up on Java at some point with some new platform that exposes binder services to javascript, deprecates Java, and merges with Chrome OS.
I think "most useful" here means "most profitable".

"prohibit licenses which propagate themselves"
This is a common myth that companies and people have.
An open source license does not propagate itself more than a closed source license.
If a closed source license says do not distribute source, and you add your code to it, what is the restriction of the combined code?
You cannot distribute it. Oh no, it propagated. It's viral!
With any software license you have agreed to, you do assume you are free to do whatever you want with it?
You read the license, and follow them in order use the source legally.

Really, every time I go to Google?

I don't stay logged in to Google.

I wish. That is not true. I wish it was, then perhaps I would still use Google.
People are not leaving Google because other search engines are getting better.
Rather, people are leaving because Google is getting worse and has lost focus of search simplicity.
Google instant drove me out.
If start typing and several pages fly by per second, this increases the garbage to information ratio, is inefficient, and disruptive. Often, the result is a blank page.
I switched to duckduckgo, as it simple, and the results are good.
Occasionally, I will use !g in the duckduckgo search to access google, but I try to avoid it.
Google should stop worrying about Bing, and look within.
