I suspect they wouldn't give it, but it wouldn't hurt to ask. We could also come up with our own name that didn't include "buntu", and we'd be safe from the trademark threat potential. > > Adding remix sounds naff. > > :/ > > We can call it what we like in our docs surely? As long as we state it is a > remixed version of Ubuntu blah blah blah... Well, we can do whatever we'd like. But we'll have to be responsive if Canonical asks us to respect their trademark. And personally, I'd prefer to go ahead and do what they'd like before they ask us to. What about if we came up with some other name that wouldn't cause trademark problems? virtualLily VMLily LilyVM LilyDevel LilyBuilder I'm sure we can come up with something better than any of these ideas. If Canonical doesn't (or in British English, don't) want us to recognize Ubuntu in the name of our product, then I'm OK with not doing it. We could also call it lilypuntu, since they only claim trademark to words ending in "BUNTU". Juse move the splice one character to the right. It even sounds almost the same, but is spelled differently. We could also change the part of the name we put in our remix. Instead of lilybuntu we could call it ubulily.
