Banshee Amazon Store disabled in Ubuntu 11.04 by Canonical (Network World)

Mark is an awesome human-being in regards to his humanitarian efforts and attitude toward free software. But I truly believe the shots he has taken over the years at Red Hat for not giving away Red Hat for free compiled and ready to use are very wrong. He is learning that the free software business model isn't as simple as he thought. I personally don't believe something that was supposed to be "community" based and ran should be changing something that was already agreed upon and active for something that suits their profits. I know it isn't as cut and dry but Red Hat deserves an apology from Mark for accusing them of not living up to the free software man date. When the shoe is on the other foot it's not so easy to cast stones. I am a new comer to the free software worlds but as I was working as a Windows admin it was Red Hat that put Linux as a usable desktop on the map. Even if it wasn't consumer friendly by today's standards Red Hat did the best they could with what the circumstances allowed and remained a strong reason to believe in free software. I currently use Ubuntu but only because I know how to get the packages I need for new installs out of familiarity not to mention Debian's packaging rules have kept things more intuitive for me. When I want my basic compilers and utilities its usually an apt-get away. I know Fedora users know this pretty easily as well but for me I guess the noobs that Ubuntu has attracted has left the internet full of helpful hints.
