If it's not practical to redistribute, it's not free software in practice
This is silly.  Free software is software that complies with a free software license.  Full stop.<p>Even RMS supports commercial use of free software, and has stated before that binaries don&#x27;t need to be free of cost, or that it needs to be easy to distribute, only that the source is available for modification and &#x27;free&#x27; redistribution.<p>Canonical has every right to protect its brand.  Firefox does this, as do many others.  This doesn&#x27;t change the fact that you can use their <i></i>code<i></i> as you wish.
