In the front page in http://www.ubuntu.com/ there is the following:

"The Ubuntu promise

    * Ubuntu will always be free of charge, including enterprise releases 
and security updates.
    * Ubuntu comes with full commercial support from Canonical and 
hundreds of companies around the world.
    * Ubuntu includes the very best translations and accessibility 
infrastructure that the free software community has to offer.
    * Ubuntu CDs contain only free software applications; we encourage you 
to use free and open source software, improve it and pass it on.
