Please use the words share/distribute and avoid using Ubuntu<br>
terminology which dilutes freedom aspects . GPLv3 uses the words<br>
propagate & Convey to extend the meaning of terms share & Distribute<br>
<br>
It is better to avoid ubuntu words like PASS IT ON that does not<br>
convey the freedom involved in it.<br>
