Are you seriously suggesting that if I replaced the word Ubuntu with the word Fedora in the above paragraph that the excuse you just made would stand for Red Hat, too? Why isn't Red Hat jumping up and down about this, then? Why is RH granting the very freedoms you will not allow, with you deciding everything on a case by case, ask me first basis (literally: like you are God - Gubuntu!) or else forcing people to laboriously hunt and peck, hand edit and recompile? Wth?
You know what this sounds like?
Even before I read your responses (assuming, as another commenter already said, that you even are who you say you are) I decided you most sound like someone who is afraid to lose control of The Creation. You sound insecure. You sound like a kid. You sound like the person I figured made Ubuntu, in other words, as I have about zero respect for the operating system; back when I last tried it, it looked like it was made for a child and had none of Linux's chops. I too noticed all the Debian source code carryover (and I'm recalling this from my last installation of Ubuntu almost 10 years ago! And it wasn't just Debian, either, it was like a freakin' smorgasbord of free operating system code) so you sound like a hypocrite, on top of everything else.
You'll find all the happiness you deserve, too, I'm sure, but probably not on your current trajectory. :/
