"With the Ubuntu Software Store, Canonical is hoping to unify all of the different package management needs into a single, unified interface. While this will not be achieved in Ubuntu 9.10, Canonical is hoping that all of the capabilities of the update-manager, Synaptic, the computer janitor application, gdebi, and other package management-related programs will be merged into Ubuntu Software Store. When this has occurred, it will be easier on the new end-user having to just deal with a single program to provide all of this functionality."

I'm not sure about this. Ubuntu does offer an option to install a completly free system.
Yes. But the free software lunatics in question would likely consider Gobuntu dirty by association. Remember that we are talking about unstable reactionaries with only a tenuous grasp upon logic.

In fact Gobuntu, a distribution targeted at "free software lunitacs" was merged into Ubuntu. You can install this system by choosing the "Free software only" option.
