If Canonical are such a bad faith player among GNU/Linux distributions, why is Trisquel based off of Ubuntu?

I don't have much knowledge with GNU/Linux systems so excuse my lack of knowledge, but from what I've gathered Debian is free out-of-the-box whilst Ubuntu isn't. Wouldn't it be easier from a developer standpoint to 'Free' Debian than Ubuntu, or are there benefits for Trisquel being tied to Ubuntu that I am not seeing?
