Canonical has been trying to restrict Kubuntu's activities for the last year but it has always been dressed in management bullshit language, nobody has gone as far as saying it wouldn't have any users.  I was hired by Canonical to make it into a successful community made project and that's what I did, with a community of supporters who are individuals and companies and users from the slums of Kano to the world's biggest desktop Linux rollout in Brazil.  Paper cuts has never done anything on Kubuntu bugs so you can take the project and fuck off.

Merry Christmas
