If I remember correctly, you can use an existing name if you donât use it to
refer to an equivalent product.
In other words, you could build a car called Microsoft because MSâs main
business doensât include making cars and nobody would confuse both
companies.
But how much of that rule still exists I donât know. And very big companies
do tend reserve their name for virtually any kind of use.

I think itâs in reference to the African philosophy, not the OS. Iâm kind of surprised Canonicalâs marketing department hasnât already thought of this, though :).
I remember seeing something about FAIRTRADE but it was referring to coffee and not Cola. Apparently family owned business can, for a fee, become Fairtrade certified for their coffee. They pay a fee to the Fairtrade association who then advertise their products, taking on corporations, such as Strabucks, to force them to use their coffee products, using shame or what ever tactics that work. It is possible here to find a coffee at Starbucks with the Fairtrade marked. Perhaps now they will do the same thing for Linux, open source software and Ubuntu, who knows.
Thank You,
Actually, if you Google: ubuntu cola
You hit the home page of the trading company
First time to see it.
Strange!
Why not opensuse Cola?

I once, during a walking tour in AndalucĂa, had a fire extinguisher in the room of the brand âUNIXâ.
