Not at all. I came to Ubuntu from opensuse because I got tired of being viewed as nothing more than an SLES beta tester. While Canonical does have other products, Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Ubuntu Server are products that Canonical sells support for, not an free precursor to what they view as an actual product. Once again, if decline to use a distro sponsored by a company that also has other proprietary products, knock yourself out. That remix is NOT Ubuntu.
