Legality aside, I do worry about an increase in Ubuntu-marked things
that are wholly Canonical things.  The Ubuntu project took a lot of
grief for the launch failures of Ubuntu One.

"Canonical Linux" - this project is something larger than Canonical, but
we make it increasingly harder to recognize that when we have the two
