[News] Ubuntu Set to Become Non-Free (as in Freedom) Linux?

Is Ubuntu set to become non-free?

| To recap: ?Only free software, unless absolutely required?. I don't
| think that I am alone when I say that a 3D desktop is not an absolute
| requirement, so it looks like Ubuntu is abandoning it's own philosophy
| for Feisty Fawn. The arguement is that new converts are clamoring en
| masse for the 3D desktop. Enabling it by default will make many users
| switch from Windows or OSX to Ubuntu.

| All of a sudden gNewSense doesn't sound so rediculous. When I first
| read the gNewSense announcement I considered it mainly propaganda.
| It's just Ubuntu with the essential firmware mentioned in the
| Ubuntu Philosophy removed. But if Ubuntu starts shipping more
| than the required binary blobs then I will consider it a very
| viable alternative. Either that or just plain Debian.
