That would make it very non-free software. And that is what ubuntu is trying to not be.

Ubuntu's full of non-free software and binary blobs. This is why it pretty much works out of the box. There's little fucking around with drivers, non-free codecs, etc.
In any event, adding non-free "premium" features doesn't make the operating system itself any less free.
