Be cautious, please, about opening a door by which Canonical buys
its way out of criticism at such a discount that does me no good
or even harm.  For example, a few 10K would do little more than
give creditors held at bay by poverty nothing other than excuse
to pounce and slurp it all up.

Plus, Mark is a capitalist.  He should think in terms of spending
to create future value.

Finally, it needn't entirely fall on Canonical/Mark.

It's a sweet idea, Sasha, but probably a fantasy in the terms
you've put it.
