Comment MIT license (Score 1) 83
I guess Ubuntu is moving away from the gnu license. which has served it well for many years. Remember when Bsd unix had a license where companies could copy it and not contribute back to the source. Apple took that and ran with it. I wonder how much was lost to the world when it was relicensed under Apple's license. Ubuntu is going to the MIT license, which is nice, but not as nice as gnu as it doesn't require keeping any improvements open.
