Czy muszę usunąć ze wszystkich miejsc słowo Ubuntu?

[slabeusz (słabeusz)]

Tworzę modyfikację Ubuntu i chcę ją wysłać w świat. Czy muszę ze wszystkich miejsc z systemu usuwać nazwę Ubuntu?

według http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy nie ma żadnych przeciwskazań jeżeli nie przesadzisz z modyfikacją dystrybucji:

We recognise and encourage the concept of a “remix.” Remixes are derived versions of Ubuntu, and it is intended that any software and hardware certifications will apply to a Remix. Therefore the changes from the official Ubuntu product must be minimal to be permitted to use the Trademarks. These changes can include configuration changes through the existing Ubuntu configuration management tools, changes to artwork and graphical themes and some variance in package selection. In general, a Remix can have applications from the Ubuntu archives added, or default applications removed, but removing or changing any infrastructure components (e.g., shared libraries or desktop components) will result in changes too large for the resulting product to be called by a Trademark. Note that if the nature of the product’s divergence from Ubuntu changes, the Remix naming and Trademark use may no longer apply. Therefore, if you are creating a derivative of Ubuntu, you may use the Trademarks in association with the software product provided: * the changes are minimal and unsubstantial, as described above * there is no commercial intent associated with the new product * the Trademark is used in a way that makes it clear that your project is a development effort related to the Ubuntu source, but that the software you are working upon is not in fact Ubuntu as distributed by the Ubuntu project. The approved naming scheme to facilitate this is through designation “Remix”. For instance, a new ISO image which has been packaged special tools for software developers could be called “Ubuntu, Developers Remix”, or an image was has been created with Thai language packs could be called “Ubuntu Thai Remix”. Words such as “Edition” and “Version” should be avoided, as they have specific meaning within the Ubuntu project. Prefixes, such as “ThaiBuntu” should also be avoided. Any other naming scheme will require explicit permission. * there is no suggestion (through words or appearance) that your project is approved, sponsored, or affiliated with Ubuntu or its related projects unless it has been approved by and is governed by the Ubuntu Community Council.
