No thank you... in bulk or as a single install.

What's that supposed to say? Or what I'm not understanding?

It translates to "free of charge" or something to that end.

Ubuntu is a Bantu (broad language family of about 600 African languages including Zulu) term meaning something like "humanity" or "community"

Near as I can tell, Granel is borrowed from spanish and in isolation would mean "grain"

"A granel" in Spanish means "in bulk". It's used when you go to a store and you put however much of whatever you need in a bag. Usually done with veggies.

"Ubuntu a granel" means "Free of charge" in Kinyarwanda (according to Google Translate).

Edit to add: It's spoken in Rwanda.

It's like "take as much as you want".

This was outside a minimarket
