I got an answer form Ubuntu itself about this issue and they said it is
not allowed to sell a product with Ubuntu installed because of trademark
policy. For an end customer there is no restriction about downloading
and installing Ubuntu. so they suggest an OEM package to sell the
product with Ubuntu :). 

It seems i should find an Ubuntu derivative or any other distro that
won't have trademark restrictions. Any suggestions?

The thing is i have wlan and modem drivers that can be compiled under
Ubuntu Hardy so an Ubuntu derivative will be fine. 

Any idea whether Fedora will cause the same problem if i install it?
