Mandriva is releasing separately a "complete free" version from the their latest distros and then separately the ones which include the commercial drivers, etc...

Maybe ubuntu could do the same. Or maybe had in the installer
some kind of "Thanks but NO put suspicious stuff to my computer"-button.
Or somekind of script which could be for making a "free" version from the
installation cds.
