When CNR technology gets incorporated into Gutsy, I take it that Ubuntu and Ubuntu alone will be responsible for the content of the servers. I only ask because according to LinuxDesktop.com's account of the patent deal [http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS9642338710.html], or at least the earlier draft pasted up on Ubuntu Forums, there's an EULA involved: "According to sources, customers of Linspire's Linspire Linux distribution who wish to take advantage of the newly licensed Microsoft technologies for VoIP, multimedia, and TrueType fonts will be required to signify their acceptance of a Microsoft patent license, much as when users install Adobe's PDF Reader or other proprietary software on Linux. Presumably, the patent license will also contain language that offers Lindows users protection against possible infringement of Microsoft patents by Linux."
