Well, no. I think what Matt is talking about here is Canonical slapping Ubuntu's trademark policies all over something that is largely derived from other people's software. Hence the fine line of having some pretense of complying with free software license terms but still violating their intent in practice. Have you ever had to resort to these extreme redistribution terms for any other commercial distro?
