"Phone home" not necessarily is dangerous spying. Ardour seemingly doesn't spy. However, an activist sometimes need to be aware when there's Internet activity, even by a weather applet, ntp or Ardour. IMO a real serious issue are Apport https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport and Whoopsi https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ErrorTracker and the Lenses http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/ubuntu-spyware.en.html , https://stallman.org/amazon.html .
