Most PCs being used by businesses, contain supplemented user-installed non-free software. So, a distro such as Mint which contains lots of non-free stuff should not be seen as a problem. What you are thinking is that a distro cannot be "officially" adopted by an organisation or a hardware manufacturer without royalty implications. So, for a home user, I see little issue. For organisations, there should be an option for being able to pay a fair price .... until this is sorted out, Linux is destined for the fringes.
