Right. A different name. But the Ubuntu font license requires it to carry a specific derivation of the Ubuntu font name in some cases, not just a different name. The requirement was thus to strict and thus non-free.

The "you must keep Ubuntu" in the name part can be considered equivalent to front cover and back cover texts in the GFDL.

Yes, and Debian don't consider GFDL-licensed works with invariant sections to be free either.

(GFDL-licensed works that don't contain any invariant sections are considered free by Debian, but not copyleft, as it is permissible to add an invariant section to it and thus make it non-free)
