Do you believe that it is acceptable to have application software in
main that you are not free to modify and distribute? Doesn't this
contradict the Ubuntu "main" Component license Policy(
http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/licensing )?

All application software included in the Ubuntu main component:

    *Must include source code. The main component has a strict and 
non-negotiable requirement that application software included in it must come 
with full source code.
    *Must allow modification and distribution of modified copies under the same 
license. Just having the source code does not convey the same freedom as having 
the right to change it. Without the ability to modify software, the Ubuntu 
community cannot support software, fix bugs, translate it, or improve it.
