Not realy.
The only reason why you'd want click'n'run is to support selling propriatory software. It doesn't matter what the license for the sofware that the service uses is.
Why would you expect a bunch of developers for a Free software distribution to vollenteer to make you money by going through the pain of porting and supporting software so end users could more easily subscribe to your service to be sold propriatory software?
Nope. Doesn't make sense for Ubuntu to do that. It's not their job. The ball is entirely in Linspire's court. They would make the money from the subscriptions so they can hire the developers to support it. I expect that Ubuntu would be willing to make allowences for them, but not to jump through any hoops.
