Ubuntu has excluded itself from being a free software operating system. I don't see that Richard Stallman worries much about Ubuntu; his position is plain. Perhaps when the state of Ubuntu changes, he'll be justified in worrying some more. > May be much much more important things to be concerned about. As the > Iranian proverb goes:"a drowning man doesn't worry about rain". Richard Stallman seems to be spending quite a bit of his energies on larger social issues; followers of his weblog can see for themselves what worries him today. I don't think we need be concerned that he's distracted by inconsequential things. More importantly, we should stop worrying about the priorities of other people and pay attention to our own; RMS's advice is valuable, but we are free to disagree and form our own priorities and convince (or not) other people as we can. -- \ “My girlfriend has a queen sized bed; I have a court jester | `\ sized bed.
