Huh?  You guys are completely missing the point.  The Ubuntu disc _includes_
binary drivers.  Ubuntu, however,  does not need to use binary drivers. 
_Hardware_ requires those drivers.  If Lenovo were convinced not to use
hardware that required binary drivers, they could install a completely free
version of Ubuntu - not even including "restricted" in the sources.list. 
It's NOT an OS issue - it's a hardware one.
