I'm building a website like OMG!Ubuntu. I know that when using domain names ending with "Ubuntu" I must get consent from Canonical.

How do I get their consent ?

The Intellectual Property Rights Policy as described on Ubuntu.com has the necessary information:

  • You can use the Trademarks, in accordance with Canonical’s brand guidelines, with Canonical’s permission in writing. If you require a Trademark licence, please contact us (as set out below).
  • You will require Canonical’s permission to use: (i) any mark ending with the letters UBUNTU or BUNTU which is sufficiently similar to the Trademarks or any other confusingly similar mark, and (ii) any Trademark in a domain name or URL or for merchandising purposes.

The "Contact Us" section links to http://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/contact-us, which is a form:

Please contact us using the form below if you’d like to request an Ubuntu trademark licence, or have any other trademark enquiry. A member of our trademarks team will be in touch with you shortly.
