Also just as a legal aside, Ubuntu is _actually_ a real word in a real

do more than merely laugh the case out as it has no merit.
I name a distro 'community' and trademark it (not likely but if I use a no
my English equivalent) does that mean I own it? Of course not.
I'm not saying this to be a jerk to Canonical as I have the deepest
respect; I'm saying this so people don't get unduly cross.
Trademark a graphic of your own design? Yes.
Trademark a living (and historical) word concept? No.

This is no way to promote Free (as in freedom) Software. Then again
Shuttleworth seems to have lost the narrative thread of Free Software. When
the project began he used to talk about promoting Free Software all the
time. Now? Not at all.
Ubuntu to you,

wow!
RT @lcafiero RT @marciahofmann: Oh, Canonical. It's silly to use
trademark law to try to silence a critic! Especially a critic who works at
@EFF. https://t.co/25ipxoHxPY
I am not happy to read about this in this way. Thoughts?
fyi,
Grant

Doesn't seem that bad to me. I could agree that it's against the spirit
of open source, but they've put a ton of time and money into promoting
the
brand of ubuntu and I don't think it's unreasonable for them to be wary
of
allowing very negative websites using that branding to go unanswered.

I don't think is trademark law to silence a critic. I think it is
trademark law to protect a trademark.
Was news to me though and I am checking into it.
