Do you have a reference for this? I was under the distinct impression
that Ubuntu had a good record with Debian because several Ubuntu
developers are Debian developers and they send their changes to Debian
(and Debian can of course refuse them).
Furthermore, saying "willingly" is claiming that you know their
*intentions*. Like you can read tehir minds. And that they are
malicious. That's a pretty hefty thing to say. I would advise that you
be careful when talking about people's intentions.
besides I see the opening of the
Ubuntu foundation as a tentative to oppose the Debian/SPI organization;
And that's just plain silly. Why is an Ubuntu foundation wrong,
Canonical, Linspire Co, and the other instututions that run Debian
derived distros ok? And why oh why would they want to "oppose" Debian?
First of all, what could you *mean* by "oppose"? And what in the world
could they possibly gain from that?
Cheers,
Daniel.
