Following searching various things for this questionthis question, I found:

http://askubuntu.greatknow.com/questions/294850/does-canonical-have-other-deals-with-companies-like-the-amazon-search-feature

which seems like a mirror copy of:

Does Canonical have other deals with companies like the Amazon search feature?Does Canonical have other deals with companies like the Amazon search feature?

Now this makes me thing of 4 things:

  • Is this site here to do harm? (e.g. a SE user signs in through it and gets their account nicked)
  • Isn't there copyright infringement stuff that might cause issue?
  • Is it affiliated with Ubuntu / Stack Exchange anyway?
  • Any advertising making money from our content?

I have in the past found various weird sites that contain shortened versions of Stack Exchange questions/answers and link to the main post (e.g. this site), this is the first that seems to be trying to copy it exactly..
