You don't have to register your LoCo team as a legal entity and I guess Canonical would have a problem in such thing but establishing a legal entity owned/managed by the members of the LoCo team is a good idea.
What LoCo teams is doing by publicizing Ubuntu is opening people eyes and drawing their attention; many of the audience might consider shifting IT infrastructure to Ubuntu and not having a legal entity to contract with to do this task would weaken publicizing Ubuntu because many managers prefer to contract with a local legal entity rather than online technical support I believe, LoCo team members can establish a legal entity to provide commercial support themselves if they are Ubuntu Certified Engineers or doing a mediation between Canonical Commercial support and the companies. Please note that a legal entity can be an NGO, Company or a governmental department; in our case, Ubuntu-Jo the Royal Scientific Society offered to give us that legal entity coverage, lab, office and a library :D THEY ROCK Soon we will start operating from RSS :-) -- Jad/Hakam Madi 1024D/1BC049D2 http://Syntux.net/ Your freedom is worth more than you think.
