project name violates Canonical trademark policy

[Andrew Zajac]

See here:
http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy

Canonical owns a number of trademarks and these include UBUNTU, KUBUNTU, EDUBUNTU, and XUBUNTU. The trademarks are registered in both word and logo form. Any mark ending with the letters UBUNTU or BUNTU is sufficiently similar to one or more of the trademarks that permission will be needed in order to use it.

...if you are creating a derivative of Ubuntu, you may use the Trademarks in association with the software product provided:

    * the changes are minimal and unsubstantial, as described above
    * there is no commercial intent associated with the new product
    * the Trademark is used in a way that makes it clear that your project is a development effort related to the Ubuntu source, but that the software you are working upon is not in fact Ubuntu as distributed by the Ubuntu project. The approved naming scheme to facilitate this is through designation “Remix”. For instance, a new ISO image which has been packaged special tools for software developers could be called “Ubuntu, Developers Remix”, or an image was has been created with Thai language packs could be called "Ubuntu Thai Remix". Words such as "Edition" and "Version" should be avoided, as they have specific meaning within the Ubuntu project. Prefixes, such as “ThaiBuntu” should also be avoided. Any other naming scheme will require explicit permission.

don't you think that

"Minibuntu - the tiny ubuntu remix you can build on!"

is clear enought?

take a look at:
Minibuntu is an idea by CreaLabs and is not recognized, supported or sponsored in any way by Ubuntu and Canonical. This means that this is not an official Ubuntu project.

and this:
Ubuntu and Canonical are registered trademarks of Canonical Ltd.

The use of the letters "buntu" in a project name requires permission from <email address hidden>.

You should contact them.
