Hi, To be able to use a project named *buntu or containing the word Ubuntu you need to apply for a trademark license/exception. See sections 3 and 4 of https://ubuntu.com/legal/intellectual-property-policy for full details, and apply for your exception at https://ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/contact-us Best Regards, Dan.
