I agree that neither description is perfect, Martin, but I do think it's worth noting that the FSF explicitly refuses to endorse Ubuntu, which it claims does not adhere to the foundation's definition of "free software." Granted, their reasons for this seem to focus more on Canonical's endorsement of nonfree software in the official repositories -- but applying the free software label in our manual might ruffle some feathers.
