Looks like Steve is an employee of Canonical. Yes, I could have found
that out, but are you really expected to check every person submitting
to this mailing list before sending a mail to it. I don't think that
should be a requirement, this list is about Debian, who is contributing
to free software. Nevertheless, I think too much of commercial software
is enforced on the community due to company agendas. And the CLA licence
is definitely not good with respect to free software development.

I was maybe overreacting, but the main issue remains: Debian is working
according to their social contract, and the principles should not be
overridden by commercial interests. Debian main interest is and should
in the future also be focused on their users, nothing else!!
