Hardware support may not be the same if the Mint people include a different kernel and drivers.
@OP - Linux distributions are generally free (if not always) because of the nature of the software used. If someone sold you Ubuntu, you could copy it a million times and distribute it to whoever you wanted. The licenses used in open source software allow for redistribution and modification.
