While the usual tradition of linux distributions is to have repositories accessible to anyone, why do I need to have a ubuntu one account in order to download apps on the ubuntu store? While ubuntu has until now been very strong into providing open alternatives to mainline products, e.g. from microsoft or apple, this requirement is a serious threat to the open philosophy. I can't see any technical difficulty into not having accounts on the server side, and I am very worried about this.
