Isn't it a bad look for Canonical, a major open source company, to not have developed core software for their major open source product in an open source friendly manner?
Why should they do everything open source? To keep happy a few bored FOSS maximalists, who have neither real interest, nor use for the code?
We develop open source applications ourselves, and the amount of jerks who drop in from time to time and teach us how to do what (without contributing any code or donations, of course) is overwhelming. They don't care how you pay your bills and how much effort it takes to make things happen.
