i guess this is of interest for the discussion (from [1]): === 2. Your use of Ubuntu You can download, install and receive updates to Ubuntu for free. Ubuntu is freely available to all users for personal, or in the case of organisations, internal use. It is provided for this use without warranty. All implied warranties are disclaimed to the fullest extent permitted at law. You can modify Ubuntu for personal or internal use. You can make changes to Ubuntu for your own personal use or for your organisation’s own internal use. You can redistribute Ubuntu, but only where there has been no modification to it. You can redistribute Ubuntu in its unmodified form, complete with the installer images and packages provided by Canonical (this includes the publication or launch of virtual machine images). Any redistribution of modified versions of Ubuntu must be approved, certified or provided by Canonical if you are going to associate it with the Trademarks. Otherwise you must remove and replace the Trademarks and will need to recompile the source code to create your own binaries. This does not affect your rights under any open source licence applicable to any of the components of Ubuntu. If you need us to approve, certify or provide modified versions for redistribution you will require a licence agreement from Canonical, for which you may be required to pay. For further information, please contact us (as set out below). === IANAL... but i guess the last paragraph clarifies what you can do (or not).
