what software in Ubuntu are you not allowed to modify?
Please ask on an FSF or FSFE list. It's off-topic here.
if you are looking for a opensource product with a not-for-profit corp and a for-profit corp involved, mozilla is a huge example (although I assume you will claim that firefox is not free software due to the fact that you can't change it and keep the branding the same)
I think Mozilla is different to the 40%-LibLime KSF in three ways: 1. Mozilla Corporation has no special rights to seats on the Mozilla Foundation board, as far as I read in its bylaws; 2. as you correctly guess, firefox is not free software because of the copyright licence of some files, which is why there's icecat & co; 3. Mozilla Corporation is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mozilla Foundation - if PTFS is willing to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koha Software Foundation, then definitely let's get talking! How about it, PTFS? ;-) Hope that explains, -- MJ Ray (slef), member of www.software.coop, a for-more-than-profit co-op. Past Koha Release Manager (2.0), LMS programmer, statistician, webmaster.
