objective : give incentive to ubuntu to become really free

Many people believe in http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing

Many people know the work that has to be done http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20060508055853&mode=expanded (MS could be nominated for Blob-Awards to offer their users the "best experience")

We would not like that story to become true : http://lwn.net/Articles/162686/ blob drivers or firmware everywhere.
http://www.netsplit.com/2006/11/27/slippery-slopes/ [en] some thoughts about including non-free by default

enhancements required

ubuntu is free to enhance the following points on their own :

Then they could follow their good intentions http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components I quote :
Some software from restricted will be installed on Ubuntu CDs but is clearly separated to ensure that it is easy to remove. We include this software because it is essential in order for Ubuntu to run on certain machines - typical examples are the binary drivers that some video card vendors publish, which are the only way for Ubuntu to run on those machines. By default, we will only use open source software unless there is simply no other way to install Ubuntu. The Ubuntu team works with such vendors to accelerate the open-sourcing of their software to ensure that as much software as possible is available under a Free licence.

People can feel sad that http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/philosophy is not respected.
