Dan berikut kutipan pernyataan dari perwakilan Canonical Ltd. dalam hal ini sebagai produsen Ubuntu.
"Our goal is to make free software widely available to users and businesses in a commercially sustainable manner. To be ranked 16th by a leading consumer IT publication such as PC World is a strong endorsement of that approach,” said Jane Silber, director of Operations, Canonical Ltd. "We hope that our position as the top open source project on PC World's list will encourage even more people to try Ubuntu and perhaps explore the broad range of other open source technologies that are available."
