This is not a matter of distribution. Launchpad should be free software in order to receive multiple colaboration on its development, bugfixing and feature implementation. The reason is, anyone who used free software, strongly belive that a community building a software is much more powerful that a single company developing it.
While Canonical is not releasing Launchpad as a free software, for me, is a clear evidence that Canonical does not belive in the power of Free Software since it is not using the free software business model.
