feature a new flavour - as yet unnamed - which takes an ultra-orthodox view of licensing: no firmware, drivers, imagery, sounds, applications, or other content which do not include full source materials and come with full rights of modification, remixing and redistribution.

Release 7.10 initially met with criticism from some free software advocates, since it included Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, software which the Mozilla Foundation has insisted must be distributed only with non-free artwork, unless a derivative version is made with a different name. After some debate on the developer list, this problem was quickly addressed by Canonical, and the non-free programmes will be replaced in the upcoming interim release "Gobuntu Gutsy+1".
