Let me sum that article up simply: the GNOME project doesn't like<br>
Canonical's Unity project because it might be more popular than their<br>
in-development "Shell" project.<br></blockquote><div><br>That's not what I read. GNOME is wary because Cannonical requires/uses a copyright/license scheme that signs away copyright to Cannonical and allows for closed-source proprietary code. That is very bad from a GNOME perspective as they got started because of QT license issues with the framework for KDE.<br>

Well, who cares? Ubuntu isn't GNOME just like it isn't Debian. They<br>
can do whatever the hell they please as long as it doesn't upset their<br>
users. If the GNOME developers don't like it, they can use a different<br>
distribution.<br>
