[lubuntu-users] lubuntu social media page shut down because of legal threats from Rafael Laguna

[Ralf Mardorf]

This is plain nonsense:
> Clarification: The user is using a Ubuntu flavour Icon and Name
> (Lubuntu and the icon of Lubuntu) all of them registered by Canonical
> Ltd, UK, and allowed to be used only in the website http://lubuntu.me  
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                  ^^^^
> as indicated in the countersigned licence attached.  
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Let alone that the Lubuntu logo itself includes the LXDE icon, so it
would be fishy, if it wouldn't be allowed to use the Lubuntu logo.
