No, commercialized simply has to do with making money.  Canonical
already makes money off Ubuntu (not enough to recoup costs yet), and
that's well and good.

They have said that they won't sell the OS itself.  That's really not
the point though.  What I want is for them to focus more on software
that is free as in freedom (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html).
