The defaults chosen by Ubuntu and Debian only matter to Ubuntu and Debian users. As a downstream distro, it is just as easy for us to ignore Ubuntu's non-free repositories as it is to ignore Debian's. Trisquel is based on Ubuntu's "free" repositories (Main and Universe). Those repositories still require modifications in order to comply with the FSDG, but so would Debian's "free" repository (main).
