Hi Jian You don't need an agreement with Canonical to ship an Ubuntu Core image, just make sure it uses the standard unmodified OS snap. This is because, since the os-snap is unmodified, users can validate that it's exactly as if they downloaded it from Ubuntu, so we are happy for devices to ship without a private agreement with the manufacturer. In future, if you decide you want us to certify the device, we offer that as a service. But you don't need to certify a device to ship it with Ubuntu Core. This is a major difference between Ubuntu Core and classic (deb-based) Ubuntu images.
