This is an interesting question that I'd like some perspective on (as a bit of an outsider to Canonical, but part of the FLOSS community): where does Canonical a/o Ubuntu's responsibility to maintain the Ubuntu brand end?
As a marketer in a rather traditional market, I'm conditioned to think that I need to preserve my brand wherever possible, to make sure everything looks consistent in every medium. At the same time, it's foolish, and I think, counter to FLOSS ideology, to clamp down on this sort of 'fan art', to categorize it broadly. So how does a company deeply devoted to open source ideology interact with fan art? I don't know if the Ayatana list is the right place for this discussion, but I'm curious about Canonical/Ubuntu's philosphy for walking that line, navigating that challenge in an innovative, open source way. Thanks!
