Most of Canonical's software, including things like multipass and lxd are GPL or AGPL licensed. Even their corporate website is LGPL'd.

No, they're dual licensed. Canonical has users contributing signing a Contributor License agreement, in which they agree to allow Canonical to distribute alternatively licesed, or proprietary versions.

This change was somewhat controversial, and partially why Incus was forked from LXD.
