If you are telling me this then I feel like I should believe it but I 
had to check for myself anyway:

So indeed it does seem like they have.

I'm surprised, but very pleased. I wonder if this will result in much 
closer collaboration between the gNewSense and Ubuntu release teams - as 
I understand, lack of free infrastructure on Ubuntu's side was one of 
the reasons Gobuntu & gNewSense didn't make it a joint effort...

I sincerely hope the landscape server side software and ubuntuone server 
side software follow soon - we need to keep on pushing canonical to 
release these cloud service things under AGPL.
