Copyvio?

This looks like they stole most of it from the main website for Ubuntu. I don't believe that's a real problem, but someone may want to delve in and clean it up to prevent possible issues later.

It seems that the "Components" section was directly imported from [1] in the first version: [2]. I can't find any such correspondance in the other parts of the article. — Matt 16:36, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the "Ubuntu's relationship with Debian" paragraph is also a copyvio: it is the last section of their "Debian and Ubuntu" page. I guess I'll remove that section too; question is, does this now merit complete deletion and starting again, without the copyvios in the history (not that I can imagine Canonical suing us, but just as a matter of policy and principle)? - IMSoP 17:38, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Perhaps. I don't really understand the legal issues, but we should salvage the lead section. There also remains the possibility that the original contributor of the website material — a User:Jaduncan — was the legitimate copyright holder. I think we should drop him a note, either way. — Matt 18:24, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
