It is in Africa, where the Ubuntu founder comes from, and where it is a guiding principle of the South African government. Clinton just hijacked it to further his goals in the context of the labor movement, not in the context of operating systems.
The fact that Clinton used it while in the UK, where the primary source of funding for Ubuntu Linux resides, is also of note.
No it isn't. You and Stallman live in the same country, is that of note?
I actually first heard of his comments from an IT publication that reported them as well.
Because at the time not many outside of Africa knew what Ubuntu meant. They heard Ubuntu and connected it to the Linux distro, not properly to the larger meaning and use of the word, because they didn't know there was actually a word "Ubuntu." IT journalists are known to make mistakes.
Your insistence this strange and unique word used by Clinton in the UK
Strange and unique to you. You project all the time; quit projecting your ignorance, too.
BTW, you used the word "radical" earlier. There is an open source application development project called Radical. I see a connection between you and it, and it's strong since you're actually talking in the context of IT, unlike Clinton.
Insisting there’s no link possible when he mysteriously used it in the UK where Ubuntu Linux is funded is ridiculous. IT people across the world picked up on it, as have other linux proponents, you just realize BJC is the kiss of death around here and are doing the backstroke double time.
