From the get-go, the company behind the popular Linux distribution Ubuntu - Canonical - has backed Ubuntu with Mark Shuttleworth's money. The big question has always been if Canonical is actually making any money. We have a rather clear and definitive answer to that one now.

as shuttleworth said they'll be focusing on services.
you want to use red hat you pay for support services. there's nothing stopping you putting centOS on but you don't get any help.
i imagine that's exactly what ubuntu will be. free while you pay for support costs.
business will pay for support where users won't.
