      @webmink The only code they invested in was designed to tie users into a Canonical ecosystem. That's nothing like RH or Suse.

      @mjg59 I don't think that's fair (Satellite?) but I doubt we're going to get anywhere discussing it on Twitter.

      @webmink Meanwhile, Red Hat spend resources fixing kernel, graphics and Gnome bugs that nobody running a Red Hat os has ever hit

      @mjg59 Now they are, agreed. I would love to get to a place where Canonical did that too.

      @webmink It was a conscious decision on Mark's part not to in the early days. Active refusal to be involved in kernel upstream.

      @mjg59 We seem to know different people called Mark.

      @webmink @mjg59 fwiw, several Canonical employees told me (circa 2010) they were forbidden to work upstream (Debian) on work hours

      @webmink @mjg59 granted, I also heard stories to the contrary. But still. That's not the company policy that'd make you "engage" in FOSS

      @zacchiro The Canonical case study will make any entrepreneur think twice about participating in the free software community.

      @webmink That might very well be. But that alone is no reason to let go bad behavior.

      @zacchiro Will Canonical eventually be disparaged enough that transgressions get ignored like most Linux Foundation members?
