There are two main components to this partnership: 1) Linspire will immediately transition from Debian to Ubuntu as the base for their Linspire and Freespire operating systems, and 2) Canonical will utilize Linspire’s CNR technology for aspects of Ubuntu’s software delivery system…

Beginning with Ubuntu 7.04, Ubuntu users will be able to use CNR to access commercial programs and proprietary drivers with one click of the mouse. In subsequent releases CNR technology will be integrated to provide an even better desktop user experience for getting commercial software…

Yes, the basic CNR Service is available to all, free of charge. In addition to the free service and products, users may also use CNR to access commercial products and services as well as proprietary drivers, but it’s entirely up to them. There are commercial programs in many popular categories including: personal and business productivity, communication, media players, games, drivers, etc.
