Personally I feel that Ubuntu's earnt some of my cash. I didn't donate but I bought some merchandise instead.
My point was with regard to the poll's assumption that the only reason for not donating directly to Ubuntu would be an objection to "paying for Linux in any way". If you wish to donate to Canonical, I have no objection; I have similarly supported Slackware because I have benefited from Patrick's efforts and wish to see them continued.
Nonetheless, distributions are just one aspect of the Free Software initiative; to me the more important facet is the individual projects and the creation of a public software commons for shared development.
