This I am not in full agreement on. I think this is out of context. The
Debian GNU/Linux distro is about free and openness, Ubuntu is for
freedom haters, it includes a bunch of stuff that is not in full
agreement with the GPL, take a look at multiverse, I suppose it could
be seen as contrib on steroids really. But really, I think that Debian
itself is more suited for the corporations as there is less risk with
license problems.
