I'm certain that Canonical ltd would like to recoup some of the investments they've done over the years, but I'm equally certain they will not charge for the distro. what they probably will do, is charge for support, training, and possible specialized setups for commercial customers.
The distro we know as Ubuntu today, will remain freely downloadable, or it will violate the linux Kernel and all the GNU tools licenses.
