Please call it GNU/Linux, not just Linux. Linus gets enough credit for this
system as it is. :)
I can't predict the future, but I can tell you that unless there is a
significant movement to resist attempts by companies to impose proprietary
software on our operating system, further development in the direction of
free software is hopeless. I do not want to be a part of the problem.
I can't give three cheers for Canonical's policies, but with Ubuntu they have
proven to many people that GNU/Linux as a platform can compete with Windows
and Mac on every level, and indeed surpass them in many ways. That is a huge
contribution to our community.
