I don't get it, I thought Ubuntu, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu only included free software? Tcrow777 talk 05:20, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
sudo apt-get install vrms
and then run it. For example, the restricted drivers manager in Feisty installs non-
free drivers. --

"Gobuntu is an official derivative of the Ubuntu operating system, aiming to provide a distribution consisting entirely of free software."
Ubuntu itself is debian sid + some nice artwork etc... + non-free stuff
Kinda makes Gibuntu pointless

Hm, as far as I see it, the official mirror still only carries a release of 7.10. I've edited the page accordingly. Robert_Kosten ( talk) 19:35, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't the latest stable release be 8.04 now? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all of the Ubuntu family has moved to 8.04. Samurailink3 ( talk) 15:30, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
It has been released: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/gobuntu/releases/hardy/release/. This was posted on the gobuntu-devel mailing list, but I can't seem to find it on the Internet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Altonbr ( talk • contribs) 15:03, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
According to Jono Bacon on the Gobuntu mailing list, Gobuntu will be merged with mainstream Ubuntu after 8.04 (8.10 Intrepid Ibex) in the form of a 'free-software only' option: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/gobuntu-devel/2008-June/000795.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by Altonbr ( talk • contribs) 17:41, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
The first sentence of that section makes no sense. First of all, neither Firefox nor Thunderbird are licensed under the GPL. Secondly, the GPL does not define what free software is. The closest thing to a definition of Free Software are the Four Software Freedoms by the FSF or alternatively the Debian Free Software Guidelines (later copied and renamed to become OSI's Open Source Definition). While it is true that Firefox and Thunderbird as packaged by the upstream developers contain non-free material, this has no impact on the GPL whatsoever. Furthermore, Firefox and Thunderbird have been successfully stripped of their non-free components and re-published under different names, see Iceweasel for Debian. Thus, to simplify and say Firefox and Thunderbird are non-free per se is not correct, either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.156.43.153 ( talk) 11:00, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
Recently the wording has been changed from "is" to "was." That should not be unless there's an announcement somewhere that the project has been officially discontinued. I have been on both the Ubuntu and Gobunto websites, and there's no announcement of any discontinuation of the Gobuntu project. Please supply specific information or I will change it back —Preceding unsigned comment added by Saxonjf ( talk • contribs) 22:05, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
