I just remembered something that I believe Rubén said (I'm not sure who else I might have talked to about this issue, and this would have been a while back). Basically I think the issue with Unity is not a freedom issue. It's got to do with tracking/privacy. Unity or at least Ubuntu is well integrated / tied into Ubuntu's services. They let you store data remotely for instance. It may be this or something related to this. Although I wouldn't think that was tied to Unity. The back end being proprietary might explain why it isn't really a good fit for Trisquel or other distributions. Does anybody know of a distribution other than Ubuntu using Unity? My perception is there aren't any although the reason I thought most were not using it (probably right about this) is that a large percentage of users don't like it.
