No, they aren’t. You can switch to their Universe patches anytime, at your own risk. If you want Canonical to mitigate that risk for you, you pay. Simple, really.

do they also lock their sources behind a subscriber agreement that prohibits redistribution of source like ibm’s redhat has done?

RHL: We’re locking down our source because people are using it without contributing!
Also RHL: Thanks for your contribution, but we’re not interested until we have someone ready to pay us for your labor.
