Is it legal to use Ubuntu name for my cybercafé? [duplicate]

Solution 1:

Hmmm.... when you use 'Ubuntu', you could mean the philosophy or something, but using it in that way (as a logo/trademark) it wouldn't be using it that way and would infringe it - sort of like what it says here:

You will require Canonical’s permission to use: (i) any mark ending with the letters UBUNTU or BUNTU which is sufficiently similar to the Trademarks or any other confusingly similar mark, and (ii) any

I would contact Canonical for permission... you never know they might even help or something :)

By the way, this site is run by StackExchange - see also [1] [2] [3]

Solution 2:

As pointed out in the copyright policy mentioned in the comments section above (http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/intellectual-property-policy) you need to ask for permission to use the term ubuntu as it is a trademark of Canonical.
