Huh? To be fair I primarily use Linux because it's the most ergonomic operating experience and tends to get out of my way, where I feel like I'm always fighting against the UX of Windows or OSX. The licensing situation is a lovely bonus but I don't think it's reasonable to suggest it's the foremost reason most users install Linux

How much would you pay if Ubuntu (or your favorite Linux distro) was proprietary?

In a vacuum? $0 - there's other Linux distros and the BSDs and being proprietary would impact some of the reasons why it's so usable.
In a world where open source didn't exist? Well I paid €129 for Windows 10 Pro recently, if there was no open source *nix I guess I'd pay that for one.
