To provide a non-US Ubuntu?

[Rob Bowers]

Re: recent discussion on providing a non-US Ubuntu, not fettered by US
patent restrictions

Lets do it, for political reasons if not for practical.

We can speculate about what will happen to patent policies. Either it will
work fine, and going by Canada's laws will be seen to be an easy way to work
around US policies. (Someone tell me why the world should heed their
anachronistic, conservative policies at all).

Or something will react. Maybe Canada's patent policies will be made less
ambiguous. The world would take note. In this case, it will have been a
successful protest.

Your thoughts?
