Yet another key Canonical platform
Yet another key Canonical platform based on proprietary software. No doubt they will point out that all the software they write and distribute is free (as in freedom), but even this may change eventually.
Like Google, they seem to specializing in locking people into important services by keeping the software proprietary. When you compare to Debian (from which Ubuntu took much free distribution-management software), you can see the issue.
This policy does seem to be a contradiction of their old policy, "Ubuntu will always be free of charge, and there is no extra fee for the 'enterprise edition'" (http://web.archive.org/web/20060424212509/www.ubuntu.com/), not that the fee is really the issue (freedom is).
