well, sorry for the last one, was clearly too long and a bit off-topic here.

But i was nearly angry.

I was expecting free software (ue/micro-emacs) and had to face a _shareware_
 nag (*HU !*).

About "hacky hack" and infrastructures, i see two (well proof) solutions,

 1. Repos (pool/shareware here)
 2. naming convention (avoiding miss interpretation)

I got a nag and didn't like it !

Don't get me wrong, even if im against "shareware" (witch in fact, are mostly
 "time-restricted-ware", having little in common with sharing (terminological))
  i can consider "the need" of such a repos.

Canonical (with Ubuntu) has clearly done (and still do) a HUGE job in spreading
 FREE software and sources, but i also think that the time has come for Ubuntu
 to consider a way to track freedom and commerce ... in separated ways.

Sincerly.
