An Ubuntu "remix" was previously defined in the trademark policy: https://web.archive.org/web/20070429002528/http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy https://web.archive.org/web/20070429002528/http://www.ubuntu... I'm not sure about the current legal status of such use of the trademark, but I hope this explains what is usually meant by "Remix" in the context of Ubuntu. "We recognise and encourage the concept of a “remix.” Remixes are derived versions of Ubuntu, and it is intended that any software and hardware certifications will apply to a Remix. Therefore the changes from official Ubuntu product must be minimal to be permitted to use the Trademarks. These changes can include configuration changes through the existing Ubuntu configuration management tools, changes to artwork and graphical themes. and some variance in package selection. In general, a Remix can have applications from the Ubuntu archives added, or default applications removed, but removing or changing any infrastructure components (e.g., shared libraries or desktop components) will result in changes too large for the resulting product to be called by a Trademark. Note that if the nature of the product's divergence from Ubuntu changes, the Remix naming and Trademark use may no longer apply." "Therefore, if you are creating a derivative of Ubuntu, you may use the Trademarks in association with the software product provided: [some conditions]"
