(IANAL) Even when primary package contents doesn't contain the Ubuntu trademark, package version in Ubuntu usually contains "ubuntu" string, which puts the Ubuntu trademark in package metadata, package file name, and sprinkles it throughout the file system (e.g. Debian changelog).
A typical Ubuntu package filename looks like this: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lvm2/lvm2_2.02.133-1ubuntu7.dsc
Is there a way to get a freely redistributable version of such package that wouldn't use Ubuntu trademark other than to alter the version and rebuild the package?
