What we couldn't confirm3
- License terms for Ubuntu were not reported by the host and no license file was provided.
- The README is mostly marketing and enterprise product text; it does not state the license for the core Ubuntu operating system.
- Whether the paid Ubuntu Pro subscription changes the license of any parts was not confirmed in the material.
