Umm, eh, sorry if I misunderstood what Henne quoted what now appears to have been from a private e-mail between you two which was:

Canonical however is a for-profit company. Other distributions shipping this plugin means that you're helping Canonical make their money for them, and I haven't heard of any method of Canonical sharing profit with other distributions.

My sincere apologies, Jeff, for jumping to 'occlusions' :-) .
What on earth are you talking about? That email you're referencing was on opensuse-project list. Henne and I have never communicated in private.
--Jeff
Quite simple. The beginning of the message from Henne to this mail list which I quoted had the Subject heading of, "[opensuse-project] Can we support for-profit organizations to make money? (Was: Ubuntu One Music Store)". There is no "Re:" in the Subject heading. For all practical purposes Henne is responding to a thread "Can we support for-profit organizations." But then there is that "(Was: Ubuntu....."). I am not interested in "One Music Store" so did not read the messages in that thread. If someone wants to continue an aspect of a subject under a different subject heading then they should state quite clearly what is now being discussed under the new thread by clearly stating the origins on which the new topic is based and not simply come in the middle of a topic by stating, QUOTE "Hi Jeff, On 02/20/2010 03:12 AM, Jeff Mitchell wrote:

UNQUOTE OK, so people make mistakes. Inadvertently I made a mistake (sort of) for not delving into the (dark) depths of what who said what to whom. For this slackness on my part for not paying closer attention to what was being posted by people in this forum I can only blame myself, and as a result I tender my apology to you regarding this matter :-) .
