This is actually not much of a problem if it is good bundlings. Such as a decent appstore... and Ubuntu already have a semi-decent appstore... and noone would complain much about a preinstalled WoW client and so on... not that such exist for Linux yet...

Make OEM:s able to share some of the profits from the software that can be purchased within Ubuntu, and that may be payment enough. Also search result revenue etc could be shared in some way.
