I made a little script to check which repository a similar list is pulled from, and they all came from "universe".

i.e. A community-curated repository, like Arch's AUR.


So, if running pure Ubuntu, no universe packages are installed by default.

Various "flavours" of Ubuntu are not under this restriction.


Ubuntu Pro (as I understand it) provides access to Canonical's patches to universe prior to them being pushed upstream, accepted & merged, packaged, and redistributed.


Also, I think that the latest Ubuntu universe doesn't have this restriction?


I made a brief post and added the script:
