While I do think that Bruce could've jumped at the suggestion to work together with Ubuntu, since the goals of the two projects seem rather similar from where I'm standing, seems to me that the UserLinux people do have valid trademark concerns.

Not that I think providing such "Ubuntu-flavored UserLinux" metapackages is a bad thing, as they could be useful for some people. I'm sure it can be done in a way not to confuse people on what they have running. "userubuntu", anyone? ;)

Its just semantics. He should have said 'userlinux-flavored ubuntu' and
that would have made all the difference.
