Legality aside, I do worry about an increase in Ubuntu-marked things that are wholly Canonical things. The Ubuntu project took a lot of grief for the launch failures of Ubuntu One. It's the flip side of trying to correct Journalists who write about "Canonical Linux" - this project is something larger than Canonical, but we make it increasingly harder to recognize that when we have the two brands comingle. -Scott -- technical-board mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board
