iloveubuntu.com: this is trademark violation

Posted on July 12, 2007 by Fabrizio Balliano

Ubuntu trademark is clear, and the iloveubuntu.com website (intentionally not linked) is violating it, hope Canonical will make that great joke stop.

UPDATE: this post would be a provocation, ’cause you know I’m a bit sceptic about free software and trademarks. I also know about ie7.com and many others, same story here and there. :)

    Microsoft….. what a strange society!
    We’d have to post this on launchpad… or no?

    @Markon: the domain isn’t owned by microsoft thus we can’t say microsoft it’s guilty… about reporting in launchpad, the best thing to do is report to the trademark team at trademarks@ubuntu.com

    @Fabrizio,

    Of course I’m responsible! Who else would have done this?

    @James Rose: I’m sorry but I’m not a noob, ubuntu trademark policy is clear, whatever you do on that site, you can’t use ubuntu name for that.
