    When Canonical partnered with Microsoft to work on WSL, I figured Caninical was gaining something too: like tips how to license and sell Ubuntu instead of being free.

      Sell? Why not just a monthly subscription to keep open software free?

        Sorry, yes we do sales, so sell also means a SaaS subscription. That was my implied meaning of seeking to sell Ubuntu to Users.

        So now you have a free update, but a note if you want certain security patches you have to pay for Pro

        They want the security patches that you don’t get with free version I guess. And maybe support.
