straightend out. Otherwise Mark Shuttleworth is just wasting his money
sending all those cds since they never get to the endusers. It's a waste
of resources, which could be used somewhere else.

showed him the letter from Canonical): These items are taxable as
mandated by customs law.

They even showed me all the stock piles of Ubuntu boxes.
