[GNUz] GNU developments in ubuntu

[Nick Rout]

I dunno if others on this list have picked up on the announcement of the 
next version of Ubuntu, "Gutsy Gibbon". Here is part of the announcement 
from mark shuttleworth:

"Ubuntu 7.10 will feature a new flavour - as yet unnamed - which takes 
an ultra-orthodox view of licensing: no firmware, drivers, imagery, 
sounds, applications, or other content which do not include full source 
materials and come with full rights of modification, remixing and 
redistribution. There should be no more conservative home, for those who 
demand a super-strict interpretation of the "free" in free software. 
This work will be done in collaboration with the folks behind Gnewsense."

The announcement is here:

and the parodies are in already:
