You can only be sued based on a specific wrong, and only under the laws that govern it. That's not something that Canonical can change. You can only sued for property damage if there was actually damaged property. Likewise you can only be sued for copyright infringement if you infringed on copyright. You don't need a statement from Canonical for that.
But I don't think that's what you want. What I think you want is a promise that, if you are given a copyright license contingent on you adhering to our trademark policy, you won't be sued for infringing copyright if you violate that policy but continue distributing copies. Basically you want to void the requirement that you adhere to the trademark policy, and you won't get that.
