Well, if I (and many others, and i think the majority) switched to Linux was to get away from the atrocious win32/64 api... Now, some folks are trying to inject those api's into Linux... What makes me feel relieved are the community oriented distributions (note Debian and Fedora, mainly). These distros will not succumb to "inventions" and experimentation on Linux.

It's more complicated than that inside Debian, but that's a story I would rather not touch as it upsets many people (who comment here).

This post makes no sense. The story contradicts the headline without any further explanation or context.
Is the point of the story that Shittleworth has contradicted himself?

Not quite.
On several occasions he spoke about how Ubuntu/GNU/Linux should be unique and not rely on Wine, for example. But he is allowing Mono to become part of Ubuntu.
The Web is a jungle and "open sites" (without restrictions or walls) are exposed to the 'feeding frenzy' of reckless plagiarists who call their "theft" something like "super intelligence" or "training"
If you keep calling people "paedophiles" when you yourself are connected to paedophiles (or are a paedophile), you're attracting a lot of unwanted attention to yourself
