Uhh, don't like the sound of that, though don't think it's gonna be like that anytime soon. Oh well, AMD FTW if that happens, and I know Linux won't really be affected by this, assuming you have hardware that can run it without blocking it or whatever.

The "Walled Garden" a la Apple is totally incompatible with GPL v3 and that means no to Ubuntu.
