I remember some talk a little while ago about Linspire's Click 'n' Run 
tool being made available on Ubuntu. This would be an excellent 
compromise which would allow people to use these applications legally 
regardless of location. Those that legally can use the 'free stuff' will 
have the choice of learning how to do so or paying for the convenience 
of having it done for them.

I think this is an excellent compromise and keeps Ubuntu, Canonical and 
everyone else out of legal trouble. Of cause, if you don't like Click 
'n' Run you don't have to use it!

So what happen to this idea? Please say its still going ahead!
