No, that has nothing to do with it. Our packages use "linux" in the
name. If Linus wanted (or the Linux Foundation, I think) then they could
ask us to change them, or stop using the name.

We call the distribution "Ubuntu" and not "Ubuntu Linux" because the
things we care most about are sufficiently well described by that one word.
