Burt: Canon's new plan for Banshee

Gabriel Burt has released an update on his blog about the music Banshee on Ubuntu default store. The new plan is as follows:

Banshee's Amazon store will remain enabled, with canonical affiliate revenue, take a 75% reduction in all 25% on Ubuntu now go to the GNOME Foundation. The Ubuntu one store for Banshee are enabled by default but now canonical will donate 25% of sales to GNOME. You will now do the same for Rhythmbox.

The basis of the wording in the blog post, would this seem a unilateral decision by canonical/Ubuntu, and one that perhaps the Banshee developers are not completely satisfied. (Thanks to Jeff Schroeder)
