Evan Boldt is still having a problem:
Yes but i think they make an exception for promotional use, which would
include almost everything on the site, including the site.
http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy
Excerpt:
Permitted Use
Certain usages of the Trademarks are fine and no specific permission from us is
needed.
Community Advocacy. Ubuntu is built by, and largely for, its community.
We share access to the Trademarks with the entire community for the
purposes of discussion, development and advocacy. We recognise that most
of the open source discussion and development areas are for non-
commercial purposes and will allow the use of the trademarks in this
context, provided:
* the Trademark is used in a manner consistent with the Usage Guidelines
below
* there is no commercial intent behind the use
* what you are referring to is in fact Ubuntu. If someone is confused into
thinking that what isn't Ubuntu is in fact Ubuntu, you are probably doing
something wrong.
* there is no suggestion (through words or appearance) that your project
is approved, sponsored, or affiliated with Ubuntu or its related projects
unless it actually has been approved by and is accountable to the Ubuntu
Community Council
Interestingly, there are several things that are not allowed that I did not
think of before:
* Use in a domain name or URL.
* Use for merchandising purposes, e.g. on t-shirts and the like.
I hope Ruben already got that permission.
I may have to remove the "t-shirt" section. A loophole might be to give the
files necessary for making your own.
Furthermore: This draft trademark policy is itself published under the CC-BY-SA
license, you are welcome to base your own project trademark policies off it,
just let others use your changes and _give credit to the Ubuntu project as the
original source!_
