Additionally, (Product) RED works with specifically created products. So
Canonical would have to launch (Ubuntu) RED and sell it. A percentage
of /that/ would go to the global fund.

It would be nice to have a specific Ubuntu-Version for that, with a
(Product) RED inspired artwork. I mean the _whole_ profit of that one
could be donated, which would make very good PR for Canonical. The cost
would have to be inexpensive, of course, like say 10 bucks. And it
should be clear that it's non-profit.
I don't think this is the proper list to discuss such things, though.

But I have to say: I'd buy it.
