Not quite. It's true that Ubuntu Studio is pretty close to our original design for the 64 Studio distro. We were offered the possibility of a merger by a former Ubuntu Studio project leader, but that would have meant them being in charge and us doing the work. As far as I know, Ubuntu Studio has technical support but no actual cash funding from Canonical, and I think that's been the case from the beginning of that project. These days, our focus is not on a general-purpose creative distro, because Ubuntu Studio and other similar projects like AV Linux provide that. Rather, we use our distro customisation tools to create niche products, like musical instruments, mobile devices and audio research equipment. There will be more free download audio/multimedia distros available from us though, because we need to stay very close to the community that we've helped create. Cheers!
