From the Trademark Usage Policy:
«Before using the any of these marks outside the scope of fair use
(such as using these in a review to refer to the product), please send
an email to [MAILTO] [EMAIL PROTECTED] with your name, contact
details, and a short explanation of your proposed usage of the
trademarks.»

I don't quite understand how this guideline can coexist with the
rights that the license CC-by-sa grants, which clearly stands outside
the scope of fair use. Isn't there a collision here?

My question is: can I freely modify and redistribute the Ubuntu Logo
as the ubuntu-artwork license says?

Gabriel,

Copyright and Trademark are not the same thing. The actual art may be
Creative commons but usage of it is covered under the trademark
guidelines. Moz Corp does this with Firefox and Thunderbird. Hence why
Ubuntu's browser is called Firefox, not Mozilla Firefox.
