Hello,

Does anyone have a clear picture on the legalities of using the Ubuntu 
rootfs with a custom kernel, as RobertCNelson's build system provides, in a 
commercial application (effectively a headless remote server)?

The Canonical site (http://www.canonical.com/intellectual-property-policy) 
has this to say:

"*Any redistribution of modified versions of Ubuntu must be approved, 
certified or provided by Canonical if you are going to associate it with 
the Trademarks. Otherwise you must remove and replace the Trademarks and 
will need to recompile the source code to create your own binaries. This 
does not affect your rights under any open source licence applicable to any 
of the components of Ubuntu.*"

>From this I take it that I cannot use the Ubuntu name anywhere on my 
product plain and simple. It also states that I have to 'recompile the 
source code' to create my own binaries. Does this mean I have to recompile 
every single package I have installed, or would this just apply to those 
specific to ubuntu, i.e. not those relating to projects undertaken outside 
of Canonical?

If anyone has a clearer picture of this I'd be grateful to hear it.


Regards,
Andrew Glen.
