"...it should be on Gnome-look.org, not an entire forked distribution."

Don't you mean *pitchforked* distribution?

...ahem.

Shouldn't be a religious issue

Has anyone actually seen the satanic edition? It's more like the "80's heavy metal" version of satanism than the actual thing. There are some different wallpapers & sound effects - it should be on Gnome-look.org, not an entire forked distribution.

The issue has beed resolved

Canonical explicitly licensed Ubuntu SE as "parody".

?Religous people Sometimes Get Mixed UP.

It's not black or white issue. It is hard to insult company. WEBtv had so many logos of all descriptions, that Ubantu,, which is less than great, it must be hoax,Less than #1 deseves NO upkept.

For fact, Uncle Walt name could take you store with one disney character.true standards are to not degade issue. yet if you feel that way,others might buy it.
Its' Granny goose time & being smart enough to see victims side.Image & Value.
Stock theft is local problem of great porportion & propieitor was victim of 3D location. Maybe pure net store, dameon & diablo. Fight to finish. Prize. complete Ubantu rights. universe wide. ltd.

hmmm

They should just change the name. Take out "Ubuntu" and call it something like "Evil OS". Then sell a million tshirts. Problem solved.

Clearly an Evil god

In the Torah, New Testament & Qur'an their god kills more people than their devil. Their god also orders worshipers to commit genocide "even the women and children" of unbelievers AND even demands they be willing to sacrifice their own children to him in cold blood.

It's clearly an evil god described in the Torah, New Testament & Qur'an. Don't let their dangerous cultists tell you otherwise.

It's all about trademarks

This has little to do with ethics or moral, and everything to do with Canonical trademark policy which explicitly forbids commercial use without a trademark license.

Nick Farrell is Satan!

From the fear, chaos, destruction, and general mayhem you cause Nick; some of us are beginning to assume you are Olde' Nick.

You still might be!

Perhaps we should have someone from the Vatican interview you and have them throw Holy Water on your notebook computer to see if it bursts into flames? If it does we'll know you're working unholy designs with your late Dell!

What would be next?

I am surprised by some comments on this article... So imagine they didn't shut down the SE edition, what would be next? Ubuntu Nazi Edition? Ubuntu 9/11-Terrorists-fan edition? Ubuntu Deep Throat Edition? Come and buy our T-shirts!
Give me a break. You know that by ethics and moral, those kind of stuff shouldn't go public that way, despite the fact that legally is not a crime.

The internet

Well, without it we would not know about The Ubuntu Satanic. The bigger the organisation the more pricks there are within it. This sounds like a lawyer having made a decision without understanding, well, the internet. Fooool.

good job canonical

I agree with Orlsend and satanic doesnt mean they affiliate with christian belief. Its a belief system which is EVIL whether it is in Christian, Judaism or Islaam. Its EVIL. As simple as that

MC please dont hurt them.

Because Ubuntu ME (Muslim Edition) and Ubuntu CE (Chritian edition ) do not sel merchandise.

Also take a look to the Ubuntu SE, Most of the material is 18+.

I am not sure...

...what to think about it. I think Canonical wants to keep a good image but why not do the same for the Christian and Islamic editions? Because they are the good guys and the Satanic edition is just 'Evil' ? It doesnt not sound fair to me.

Does it work both ways?

So they have shut down one based on Christian belief, should they not do the same for the Christian Ubuntu based on Buddha, Muslim etc etc.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
