(Get the code!)
@ kafpauzo
"I get the impression that Ubuntu isn't the right distro for you. Ubuntu aims to be convenient and easily accessible. You're looking for maximum stealth."
Actually I do other things for maximum stealth (and lack there of).
I do have an issue where, what appears as a hypocritical, including encumbered software into a free package. Ubuntu does not include the better drivers for NVadia (I know maximum the other way). Why should it include software that is "put its nose under the tent", then trying to hide the fact.
EULA was honest in one way - To get the user to agree about what they are doing. With the last mock I have seen, the Service License is hidden (unless you press a button), and then it is "below the fold". This is not being honest.
If Ubuntu supports this where is it "moral compass pointing"?
I choose Ubuntu for easy of use, getting my wife and kids to use. I liked the update feature and understood what it was going to do before installing Ubuntu and being used the first time. I even liked how NVadia were available with a two step (in my case 3 step) install. But not to giving same treatment to FireFox is wrong with it encumbered code by default, is where I see the hypocritical issue come to play.
