 | | MandrakeSoft also criticized UnitedLinux's restrictions on distributing its software, saying that the restrictions go against the principles of Free Software, which is more commonly known as open-source software. | | | MandrakeSoft itself includes proprietary software such as Sun's StarOffice productivity suite with commercial versions of its distribution, but says it does not allow such add-ons to conflict with the free circulation of its open-source products. | | | On a more technical level, MandrakeSoft also dismissed UnitedLinux's position that Linux is in danger of fragmentation, and needs a more uniform approach in order to be more appealing to high-end software companies. |
