The 3rd point u raised is unlikely if not impossible bcoz Ubuntu has always maintained that all its software will remain free and u can always update to the latest for free. I feel Ubuntu as of today is anyway better than Red Hat, and the fact is, it is the most popular linux distro at d moment. If they had to price it, they shud have done it by now.
