[arch-general] Arch Linux trademark and docker images

[Christoph Seitz]

Hi there,

I just stumbled on the following [1] blog post, which says that shipping 
ubuntu docker images with modifications (e.g. web app, etc.) might be a 
violation of trademarks. I was wondering wether this also applies to 
arch linux, since the trademark policy [2] is derived from ubuntu 
somehow. Especially if you use aur packages inside the container, the 
trademark policy insists on a trademark license. I found some packages 
[3] that include aur packages.

The FSF started a dialog with Canonical in order to allow such 
customization based on ubuntu. [4] Am I right with my assumption, that 
docker images with aur packages need a trademark license? Would it be a 
possibility to change the policy in oder to allow such works as docker 
images with aur packages?

Regards,
Christoph
