After two years of consultation (I do not know whether anyone has been hurt), Canonical (the company of Ubuntu) updated the intellectual property terms of Ubuntu products to solve their authorization issues. According to the new "priority clause", "Ubuntu has its own authorization instructions based on the work achievements of many predecessors ....... This authorization document should be read with those authorization documents to make it clear that you can do nothing with Ubuntu. To avoid ambiguity, this clause repeats: the rights stated in the authorization do not have the right to modify or delete this authorization ." FSF responded to the incident: "In June 2013, the FSF decided to formally issue a showdown with Cannonical after receiving numerous complaints from the free software community. Since then, in order to protect the interests of FSF, the GNU Project has joined with other free software activists to negotiate with the management and legal team of Canonical, draft and analyze the full text of this important provision. Throughout the process, the Software Freedom Conservancy provided selfless help and sent experts to carefully analyze this statement ." Godfather Richard Stallman believes that there are still some problems to be solved: "FSF believes that the revision of this article can indeed solve most of the problems ...... However, there are still some minor issues in the terms, so it cannot be used as a template for similar issues ."
