I hope not.

But, if so, there are many, many distributions out there.  I am
surprised by nothing, though, and I don't put much faith in any
distributor to do the right thing anymore.  Hopefully, Canonical will
stay far, far, away from Microsoft in these deals.  But, just in case
they don't... I suppose it would be back to Gentoo or Slackware for me.
Well, probably not Slackware.  Dunno.  They haven't released 12 yet.
