I think I need to clarify what I am asking for. I want to know if any
of these names for a proposed GNOME spin of Ubuntu are acceptable uses
of the GNOME trademark:
1. GNOMEbuntu
2. Ubuntu GNOME Edition
3. GNObuntu
Ryan has already registered http://gnomebuntu.org/ so I'm leaning
towards the first name if that's acceptable.
Thanks,
Jeremy
