Hello, I am just looking for Ubuntu's position on the Microsoft patent nightmare. I think I can guess the answer but I would like to know for sure.

Sorta like letting a child thats throwing a fit tire itself out before trying to reason with it. Very nice, thank you.

Now that is very reassuring. :)

Anyone who still have doubt about Ubuntu stands on the matter should definitely read Mark's statements listed above.

I am so glad we got one leader with some principals and guts.

it's not about 1 leader, it's about us all. someone with some money finally used his fortune for good, instead of greed. let's not get ahead of ourselves, let linux evolve without throwing it in others faces. if linux really is that good, people will know......
