is some intellecutal property on the packaging work made by Canonical
employees as part of their paid work [1], or that there is no time for
giving the package to a developper who is willing to adopt it ?
You are asking whether Ubuntu is violating Free Software principles?
No it isn't - but that was not the initial question.
Although not a debian developper, I would like to understand. There is
more and more noise on this subject, and by thinking that the rudest
are the wrongest, I might be myself wrong...
I guess you are right in your last assumption. If you want to understand
please read first the mails and try to extract the facts from the noise.
Then come back and please avoid naming very active Free Software developers
trolls.
Kind regards
Andreas.
