Ja se slazem sa ovim:
I’m sure Canonical/Shuttleworth’s attitude is having the end result similar to Novell SuSE/openSuSE – RedHat/Fedora – Linspire/Freespire…..
Frankly,manje-vise koga briga,ali zaista….
Debian derivata ima dosta-a(Knoppix,Kanotix,Mepis(iako je sad skoro ceo Ubuntu based),a Debian Etch koji treba da se pojavi tamo negde oko nove godine ce doneti prilicno svez softver(recimo Gnome 2.14.1 i konacno Xorg umesto Xfree-a i naravno 2.6 kernel po defaultu)
Tako da panike nema-imao sam prilike da koristim i Ubuntu i Debian i ovaj potonji je takode prilicno jednostavan za koriscenje,nasuprot nekom opstem misljenju da je pravi Debian za nesto iskusnije korisnike sto je samo delimicno tacno
Mozda je manje saren nego Ubuntu,ali je skoro podjednako dobar(citaj-bolji) i jednostavan…
A Debian tesko da ce ikad biti komercijalan,jer pored Gentoo-a jedino on ima cuveni drustveni ugovor…
Ako krenu da naplacuju Ubuntu(zlu ne trebalo),moze se ocekivati rapidan pad njegove popularnosti i prelazak korisnika na druge distroe(a u prvom redu Debian)-ne znam bas,bilo bi to prilicno riskantna odluka,ako Cannonical drzi imalo do svog ugleda u linux zajednici…Pa ako on pocne da se placa postojace free i enterprise edition… Ako se to desi (ne daj boze), videce onaj za sad jos ne kreten Mark Shuttleworth!!! Ubicu ga (LOL)!!! Al’ ako se stvarno to dogodi ili cu da nastavim sa free edicijom Ubuntua, ili Fedora, ili Debian a mozda i neki drugi (npr. Windows LOL)… Ubicu se ako Ubuntu umre!!! 😮 :p
Jel’ si nekad probao jos neki distro?
Will Ubuntu ever demand licence fees or royalties?
No. Never. I have no interest in taking Ubuntu to join the proprietary software industry, it’s a horrible business that is boring and difficult, and dying out rapidly anyway. My motivation and goal is to find a way to create a global desktop OS that is *free*, in every sense, as well as sustainable and of a quality comparable to anything you could pay for. That’s what I’m trying to do, and if we fail, well then I will go and find some other project to pursue rather than get into the proprietary software business. I don’t think any of the core Ubuntu developers, or much of the community, would stick around if I went loony and decided to try the latter, anyhow.
If that isn’t enough for you, then you will be happy to know that Canonical has signed public undertakings with government offices to the extent that it will never introduce a “commercial” version of Ubuntu. There will never be a difference between the “commercial” product and the “free” product, as there is with Red Hat (RHEL and Fedora). Ubuntu releases will always be free.
That said if you want to pay for Ubuntu, or something that includes Ubuntu code, you probably can. There are proprietary apps that are certified for Ubuntu. Some Ubuntu-derivatives, like Impi (in which I am an investor) are targeted toward vertical markets that demand specific software, currently proprietary, which they bundle. There is already Ubuntu code in Linspire, which you can pay for (w00t!). Though Linspire is not (yet) based directly on Ubuntu, it’s not infeasible that the Linspire guys figure out what a good option that would be for them sooner rather than later. There are likely to be many specialised versions of Ubuntu, under other brand names, that have commercial or proprietary features. They might have proprietary fonts or software like Impi, or add-ons or integration with services, etc. There is also likely to be quite a lot of proprietary software available for Ubuntu (there is already a fair bit – Opera for Ubuntu was announced recently, for example). But Canonical, and I myself, and the Ubuntu Community Council and Technical Board, will not produce an “Ubuntu Professional Edition ($XX.00)”. There will certainly be no “Ubuntu Vista”.
