Well it was the most long-winded way to find out a very simple piece
of info that I have seen since I read the "BBC" thread on Surrey LUG
~10 hours ago. :)

1. A lot of what Ubuntu has done would be impossible without
rewriting Debian's social contract. Since I suspect you believe
it *shouldn't have been done at all*, I think that it is better
for all concerned -- *especially* you -- that this did not take
place and they are in fact separate.
2. You can't poach people who work in their spare time; they work on
what they want to work on.
Cheers,
Andy
