Ubuntu for Android components produced by Canonical are generally licensed under the GPLv3 or LGPLv3. Alternative licensing is available on the proviso that Canonical retains discretionary rights to include work done in the public versions of Unity and Ubuntu.
Ubuntu is and will always be free and open source. The Ubuntu trademark might need to be licensed for manufacturers wanting to ship this with their phones, but that is well within Canonical's rights according to http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/selling.html
Bottom line, FUD. The source for Ubuntu TV is out there already. No reason to expect anything different here.
