!ds2011: #vuntz: "!GNOME is failing re: !Canonical, Ltd.…They could do more but we don't help them do it. We could make them feel welcome".

Bradley M. Kuhn

Bradley M. Kuhn

BTW,I did indeed again ask @sabdfl to include promises to never proprietarize in !Canonical #CLA's &©AAs &he changed subject w/out answering

Bradley M. Kuhn

@jonobacon says he wants be "harnessing the community". dict says "harness v. exploit the power of". !Canonical's plans are !disturbing.

Bradley M. Kuhn

@jonobacon says he wants more often "harnessing" community. dict says "harness v. exploit the power of". !Canonical's plans are !disturibing

@bkuhn If #Canonical wants to proprietize, it should continue with honest approach of outright copyright assignment.

Richard Fontana

@bkuhn you mean #Canonical might back down even further to a #Harmony #CLA with a #bogus outbound license constraint like "any #OSI license"
