    Stallman: Ubuntu Spyware: What to Do?
    Richard Stallman has come out
    against Ubuntu's Amazon partnership
    on the Free Software Foundation's
    site. "But there's more at stake here than whether some of us have
    to eat some words. What's at stake is whether our community can effectively
    use the argument based on proprietary spyware. If we can only say, 'free
    software won't spy on you, unless it's Ubuntu,' that's much less powerful
    than saying, 'free software won't spy on you.' It behooves us to give
    Canonical whatever rebuff is needed to make it stop this. Any excuse
    Canonical offers is inadequate; even if it used all the money it gets from
    Amazon to develop free software, that can hardly overcome what free
    software will lose if it ceases to offer an effective way to avoid abuse of
    the users.
