So, then, it appears that Canonical actually supports a freer distro 
that you think.  Ubuntu may make some compromises, but users do have 
the choice to also use Gobuntu.  Do Fedora users have the choice not 
to use binary-only firmware?  For instance, has the Fedora team 
developed a "completely free" distro as Canonical has?  I don't think 
you can continue to make your previous argument, because Ubuntu users 
actually are given a choice, whereas on the other hand, Fedora users 
are not :-)  Just my two cents...
