Yet they have created Gobuntu and the new installer option for using
"open-source non-restricted software" only, which I consider an option
for end-users, who want to stay on the safe side and avoid the threat
of legal/patenting/licencing issues.

Actually, they stopped working on Gobuntu, it is no longer a supported not a distributed part of the Ubuntu family. Apparently they did not gather enough volunteers to keep up the project so Mark effectively shut it down. People are requested to use gNewSense instead which is also an Ubuntu remix without nonfree elements present (and blessed by Stallman if I am not mistaken).
