_If_ Canonical's Contributor License Agreement for Mir mentions anything 
about "the right of making a proprietary version of Mir" then I'm 
surprised. Because that would probably be unenforceable.

Mir, and the server code in particular, is GPL. That usually makes it 
illegal for anyone* to make a closed-source Mir server.

*"anyone" may exclude Canonical as the original copyright holder. 
Canonical might have rights to dual-license or re-license. But those are 
murky waters I'm not familiar with.
