What they said was that they can't envision circumstances in
which they would require release of the key. I can't envision
circumstances in which my wife decides to leave me. Doesn't
mean it can't happen. Moral: there's quite a bit of wriggle
room in what FSF said.
BUT given a choice of trusting MS or FSF, I'd go with FSF.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

So Shuttleworth doesn't trust the FSF to keep their word that
they
would not force him to release keys, but he is willing
to trust Microsoft and
[slave-]partners to keep the setup
mode available to him for
eternity
First, if they went with GRUB2, it would have no impact
on how much they are relying on Microsoft et all to allow support for the
Canonical key.
Second, I see no indication of trusting Microsoft et all.
Rather they are living with the world as it is. UEFI is coming whether they
like it or not. All Canonical is doing is producing a Ubuntu product that will
work in a UEFI environment. Whether they trust Microsoft or not, they have to
do that. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
