"You cannot use the Trademarks in software titles. If you are producing software for use with or on Ubuntu you may reference Ubuntu, but must avoid: (i) any implication of endorsement, or (ii) any attempt to unfairly or confusingly capitalise on the goodwill of Canonical or Ubuntu."

I really don't see how your example would be an infringement to this.

It's no coincidence my question does not get answered, because the statement simply is not true. It's always this way with Matthew's posts regarding Canonical. If he'd leave out the FUD element, I would at least respect it.

Furthermore, bundling the ZFS module with the linux kernel (that started all this) was debated by the openzfs folks a long time ago, and is part of their FAQ. Several companies have build a commercial offering around it. Now that Canonical includes it, it becomes an item.

It's just personal, as usual.
