Why should UbuntuKylin be named "Ubuntu Kirin"?

We must make sense when talking about things and respect objective facts. What does UbuntuKylin mean? Why should I literally translate it into the & rdquo; Ubuntu Qilin & rsquo; release version, or the & ldquo; Qilin & rdquo; GNU/Linux release version, or simply call it & ldquo; qilin Linux releases & rdquo;, or simply it is called & rdquo; Qilin releases & rdquo ;? Name it & ldquo; Qilin release & rdquo;

We must make sense when talking about things and respect objective facts. What does UbuntuKylin mean? Why should we literally translate it into the "Ubuntu Kirin" release, or the "Kirin" GNU/Linux release, or simply call it the "Kirin Linux release ", or simply call it the "Qilin release "? The name is "Qilin release edition", which is both good and nice to know. Why not?

First, we need to figure out what "UbuntuKylin" means? UbuntuKylin is a release style officially recognized by the Ubuntu international community. It is like: kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mythubuntu, Edubuntu, Lubuntu, UbuntuStudio, effectugnome, and UbuntuKylin have a total of eight different release styles. According to the regulations of the Ubuntu international community, each new release style must go through strict and cumbersome procedures to be recognized by the whole community. That is to say, "New flavors have to go through a process to become a Recognized Flavor ". It can be seen that every new release style created by the Ubuntu international community must be very careful.

The actual situation is that on June 14, March 15 this year (2013-03-1515: 21: 22), the latest release style "UbuntuKylin" was officially launched "on the official Ubuntu website (debut ), the release date is one week earlier than that in China (January 1, March 21 ). How is the new GNU/Linux version (Newflavor) approved by the Ubuntu community high-level Congress (without any Chinese? Without a doubt, this is the credit of Mr. MarkShuttleworth! It is said that the name of this new release style "UbuntuKylin" was proposed by Mark himself, because each different Ubuntu release version has an animal "alias ", the trade-off between these animal names is determined by Nark himself. In Western Traditional Culture (or mythology), "Kylin" is equivalent to "Unicorn". It has a fierce shape and infinite power. In Chinese astronomy, the unicorn constellation is translated as "Unicorn". In the mind of Mr. Mark, inspired by Western culture, Kylin ("Qilin") is a mascot in traditional Chinese culture. Therefore, it is named "UbuntuKylin". it represents the meaning of good fortune and peace.

On the official Ubuntu website, the goal of the new release style "UbuntuKylin" is: "to create a variant of Ubuntu that is more suitable for Chinese users". At the same time, "to provide the user with a delicate, thoughtful and fully customized Chinese user experience out-of-the-box", meaning, A more appropriate Ubuntu "variant" (release style) should be provided for Chinese users to make them a beautiful, friendly and fully customized GNU/Linux release version for Chinese users.

Back in our country, we should naturally accept Mr. Mark's kindness (or intention), and we cannot be "barbarian" or be insensitive to the world. What is the problem with calling the "UbuntuKylin" release version "the" Qilin release version? What are the taboos? Is it because of the "Kirin fraud" storm that I dare not accept Mark's kindness? In our domestic industry, the "Qilin fraud" Storm has not yet come to a conclusion as to whether the parties (the National Defense University) are fair. Yesterday, I carefully checked "FreeBSD License" and found that the 3rd clause is: "Neither the name of the University of California, berkeley nor the names of its contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this software without specific prior written permission ", the core meaning is that, if you use FreeBSD program source code to create your own software product, please release the product in your own name, rather than using the name of the original software author to guarantee and promote the product. It can be seen that the programmer who exposes "Kirin fraud" does not understand the true meaning of FreeBSD's copyright license terms. It is a bit "small discovery ", it's really sad to be complacent about your "technical proficiency" (decompilation. This has left the "Qilin fraud" client innocent. Without studying FreeBSD's license terms, the domestic media are even more angry with me!

Solemnly declare:In the past, I only paid attention to the gnu gpl license terms and did not care about FreeBSD's usage methods. As a result, I followed the domestic media to say a lot of bad things about "Qilin. Here, we apologize to the "Qilin fraud" party.
