"It was recently annouced that desktop Linux's golden child, Ubuntu, may begin to offer Linspire's Click-N-Run service. This story which hit the internet just a few days ago is big news for the desktop Linux community. Ubuntu, which is the most popular Linux distribution (according to DistroWatch) has had a profound impact on the desktop operating system industry and any move it makes is going to be a critical one. Overall, feelings about this are understandably mixed."

I think (hope?) that if CNR is offered it won't be part of the official distro, therefore making it just another 3rd party software installer like Autopackage or Klik. I thought the money would still go to Linspire's company as it's still their servers and software.
To make it part of official Ubuntu would go directly against their manifesto. "Ubuntu will always be free of charge, and there is no extra fee for the "enterprise edition", we make our very best work available to everyone on the same Free terms"
