Thanks for every bodies reply. I just want to know that is Ubuntu ship with
non free? The answer is yes.

We can not go with out non-free software, we have to understand that.
Gobuntu is a backdated distro which is not maintain now. So there is no
option to use it.

So I think I we can have Ubuntu fork which has no non-free in shipment. But
it is not possible. :D
