While I'd love to see Canonical make changes [0] such that Ubuntu
could be endorsed by the FSF I don't see that happening. Canonical
never discusses the social/ethical/political issues of free software.
Even if they did their actions of distributing proprietary,
user-subjugating software would undermine them. They clearly have very
different goals. It isn't necessary to compromise on values while
working to educate the people of the world about free software and get
them to switch. Trisquel, for example, also meets the criteria you say
and comes with both freedom and privacy included.
