[06:37] <Takyoji> Thoughts? Opinions? http://tech.slashdot.org/story/11/02/25/2230207/Canonical-To-Divert-Money-From-GNOME
[06:40] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji: The license allows and encourages such things, so everyone should just shut up already.
[06:41] <Takyoji> License as in GNU GPL, or?
[06:41] <tonyyarusso> And they're not "diverting" a single penny - they're merely taking in money.  You could say that GNOME was diverting money from any distro that ships their product, really.
[06:41] <tonyyarusso> Takyoji: I think the thing in question is MIT actually.
[06:42] <Takyoji> otherwise yes, it may be legal, just not ethical to some. :P
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> Then they have a misguided definition of ethical.
[06:43] <tonyyarusso> It may not be *nice*, but it's certainly still ethical.
[06:43] <tonyyarusso> Ethical != "what I think they should do"
