Bad, bad and even more bad.. They need to explain their trademark
stance. I am an American living in the Philippines where I teach school
age students how to use Ubuntu, completely free of charge.

Either offer to ship a lawyer with every install, or get rid of the
goddamn EULA.

Mark, your welcome to chime in with any good reason why the EULA should
stay. Otherwise, tomorrow, I'm forking Ubuntu and using my fork to
teach.. Why? I must, the EULA exemplifies a language barrier and not one
student of mine will agree to something that they can not understand.

Mark, you have devoted your millions, I have devoted my life since 1995.
I make $0 (we likely share that in common) however you likely shower
with hot water, I do not.

Fix it, stand up, make them change it or consider your baby forked. Your
two responses here have been demeaning, condescending, pontificating
and without substance.

Fix it. Fix it now.

Cheers,
