why is canonical a bad company?
<|assistant|>
Canonical is often accused of making overly proprietary modifications to the Ubuntu open source project, such as charging fees for software packages that should be free, including Ubuntu One. It has also been known to make questionable business decisions and has received widespread criticism for its former leader Mark Shuttleworth’s leadership style. Additionally, some of Canonical’s practices regarding patents have been seen as potentially anti-competitive.
