Can someone explain why it is not possible to simply ignore Canonical's aberrant behaviour and carry on as before? They aren't a court nor do they have any law enforcement powers, it's just a company expressing a preference.
Canonical: "We require that you remove all trademarks entirely even if using them wouldn't be a violation of trademark law."
The rest of the planet: "Go pound sand."
Isn't this a more logical response than submitting to their request? Are developers concerned that Canonical will haul them into court for an expensive legal battle, regardless of who is right? This can happen I suppose, but I am not seeing the down side to ignoring their demands.
