Gabriel Burt has posted an update on his blog regarding the default music store for Banshee on Ubuntu. The new plan is as follows:
- Banshee’s Amazon store will remain enabled, with Canonical taking a 75% cut of all affiliate revenue; 25% on Ubuntu will now go to the GNOME Foundation.
- The Ubuntu One store for Banshee will remain enabled by default, but now Canonical will donate 25% of its revenue to GNOME. They will now do the same for Rhythmbox.
Based on the wording in the blog post, this would seem to be a unilateral decision by Canonical/Ubuntu and one that, perhaps, the Banshee developers are not completely happy with. (Thanks to Jeff Schroeder.)
