[mdlug] Ubuntu LIcense

[gib at juno.com]

See also my response to Jay Wren.

I'm creating a list of the software and licenses for approval for the company I work for.

We are used to the idea that we have a license for each software title.
We can list each software title contained within the system.
I just need to know what the software, if any, that makes up Ubuntu is licensed under.

Ubuntu distributes software licensed by the GPL, as well as several
other licenses (BSD, MIT, Perl, Python, etc.).  However, the content
of the installer has copyrighted content (such as the Ubuntu and
Canonical Logos).  The installer is probably GPL'd too.  Content on
their web site and documentation seems to be published under a
Creative Commons CC-BY-SA version 3.0 UK license.

So, there's a lot of stuff here.  It's not all covered by the GPL.
