I think sfconservancy sums it up pretty well with "full permission to redistribute Ubuntu as a whole remains in question."
While I'm happy that there is full GPL compliance, there are other parts of the stack such as X11 which are not GPL and don't mention anything about not adding additional restrictions ontop of the binaries.
- shadeslayer 11y agoJust a quick follow up to this, I just had a look at the X11 license ( https://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy#X11_License https://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy#X11_Licen... ) which mentions a 'copy' of the software. In my interpretation of the license it also means a binary copy.
