//I just read the part about binary blobs in Ubuntu 7.04.
That explicitly violates the terms of the GPL.//
Excuse me? What terms exactly?
The video drivers and other "binary blob" components that are being distributed by Ubuntu aren't GPL software.
Having GPL software on your system in no way requires that the systems has only GPL software installed on it.
