This is just off the cuff, but CouchDB/desktopcouch is the "front end" i.e. runs on the local system. You also need to have the Ubuntu One client tools[1] running locally (which is GPLv3) to manage pairing your desktop with the cloud service, signing up for service etc. On the back end you would need to be running CouchDB plus software for creating and managing accounts, and probably lots of other stuff[2][3]. It's the stuff that runs in the cloud that Canonical is keeping proprietary.
