Comment 42 for bug 375345

I might point out to vestentharlero and Reynaldo Horsford that this issue does not revolve around Canonical making money off the Ubuntu trademark. They already do, via services for the distro itself. The issue at hand is that the Ubuntu trademark is being used on a proprietary service and that Canonical is able to grant itself use of the trademark for whatever purpose, something no other company or individual has the ability to do. As for the "they have invested lots, so they can do this" argument, what then prevents Dell or myself from launching a proprietary service? Both Dell and myself have invested plenty in the Ubuntu project.
