jack_ | So what do you guys think about the Canonical/Banshee thing? | 04:16 |
holstein | pretty strange | 04:31 |
holstein | has it been clarified yet? | 04:31 |
holstein | jack_: ^ | 04:31 |
jack_ | http://www.vuntz.net/journal/post/2011/02/28/Canonical,-you-re-breaking-my-heart | 04:31 |
jack_ | mark shuttleworth put an update on his blog | 04:32 |
jack_ | they gave banshee a choice whether to disable the plugin or give 75% of profits to Canonincal, they choose to disable, so they're leaving it enabled and taking 75% | 04:32 |
holstein | too bad for the gnome project | 04:33 |
holstein | i mean, its hard not to see it as a kick in the pants | 04:34 |
holstein | as the transition to unity happens | 04:34 |
holstein | AND, *so* many people use the amazon store | 04:35 |
holstein | i mean, i guess they dont have to give any of the bread to banshee/gnome | 04:36 |
holstein | so whatever | 04:36 |
holstein | jack_: what do you think? | 04:36 |
jack_ | seems like they're being strongarmed into doing what canonical wants. that sucks and goes against the open source way in my opinon. | 04:37 |
jack_ | if you're going to go against the developers of the applications, you might as well just fork the project | 04:37 |
holstein | yeah, fork it, and bring it in under whatever terms you want | 04:38 |
_marx_ | interesting | 04:47 |
_marx_ | are novell or redhat sponsored distros having this issue? | 04:56 |
holstein | i dont think they have commercial interests | 04:56 |
holstein | quite like this | 04:56 |
_marx_ | my point | 04:57 |
_marx_ | somebody is going to get the money | 04:58 |
_marx_ | my point, right novell and redhat _are publically traded companies | 05:00 |
_marx_ | enterprise focus | 05:00 |
_marx_ | canonical with ubuntu remains a wildcard in the enterprise market | 05:02 |
holstein | its new | 05:02 |
holstein | we'll see | 05:02 |
holstein | i mean, something is going to be different | 05:03 |
