I don't think the slider is a good idea. 
 - It's conflating two different things: 1) proprietary bits (Flash, 
proprietary video drivers) and 2) free-but-problematic-because-of-patents (MP3, 
DVD). 
 - It's simply not a scale: trying to weigh the usefulness is heavily dependent 
on who is using Ubuntu.
 - I appreciate that we're trying to think of intuitive ways to give the user 
choice, but why does choice A include choice B and C? Ie: if I want to play 
DVDs, why do I have to use proprietary video drivers?
