I don't quite understand what point you're trying to prove. The same sort of support isn't available for CentOS whether you want to call it Commercial Sponsor or Vendor - neither of those options exist. Who pays for development of Ubuntu, who provides support for Ubuntu?

This from the Canonical web page:

Well let's give you bonus point for a trite comment, we'll call you the winner shall we?

As I've already said, this has been discussed many times in the forums - read the posts and see if the policy has changed.
