http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy says:

...If you are producing a new, non-commercial product that is based on
Ubuntu, but it has more substantial changes than those described above
as a Remix, you are allowed to state (and we would encourage you to do
so) that your product is “derived from Ubuntu”, “based on Ubuntu”, or
“a derivative of Ubuntu” but you may not use the Trademarks on their
own to refer to your product. You must, however, make it clear that
your product is not the same as Ubuntu as distributed by the Ubuntu
project. You also should not use any of the Ubuntu visual identity,
such as the Circle of Friends logo, or write the word 'Ubuntu' using
the Ubuntu font - that visual identity is reserved for code with no
substantial changes...

> If Ubuntu is happy to let such distros go, 

ubuntu isnt happy or unhappy :) ubuntu is a product built and governed
by the community ... its canonical that owns the trademark
