As for Mir… Ubuntu belongs to Mark Shuttleworth and Canonical. The last time we checked the GPL, they’re allowed to do with the code anything they want so long as they give any changes back to the community, which they appear to be doing.
We don’t use Ubuntu here at FOSS Force, but if we did and if we didn’t like the notion of MIR, we’d just find another distro to use. As we’ve discussed here on this site in the past, there’s no shortage of distros.
