If I am not mistaken, that is an Ubuntu logo wallpaper in the images of these Win7 Satellite notebooks from Toshiba.

This is from a flyer (http://www.thesource.ca/estore/iflyer/default.aspx?language=en-CA) from The Source (formerly Canada's Radioshack)

I don't see Toshiba selling Ubuntu on their notebooks at their site.


wtf? :p

I wonder if that particular image is a CC-SA license. If so, then you can use any part of that ad with the same license...

It's a circle with three circles around the edge. That's not really a hard image concept to come up with without stealing it from Ubuntu.

The whole point of Ubuntu's logo is that it is broken in 3rds representing 3 people holding hands. This image's circle isn't broken in 3rds and the color scheme isn't similar.

Doesn't look like an Ubuntu logo after all. Similar, but not the same. And it still has the Toshiba logo

This is like the Subway Olives being spelt 0lives on their list of veggies. Note the zero instead of capital o..

Someone in the company decided to have some fun

If you find what you believe to be an Ubuntu trademark violation, the correct thing to do is report it to Canonical as they have the appropriate legal authority to handle the problem.

Thank you all for participating.
