Corey: the filed bug here is not whether you see a "conflict of interest": the topic is whether "Ubuntu One" infringes the Trademark Policy, which is doesn't. "Ubuntu One" is a commercial service, and as per the published policy at http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy :

----

Permission from us is necessary to use any of the Trademarks under any circumstances other than those specifically permitted above. These include:

 * Any commercial use.
 * Use on or in relation to a software product that includes or is built on top of a product supplied by us, if there is any commercial intent associated with that product.
 * Use in a domain name or URL.
 * Use for merchandising purposes, e.g. on t-shirts and the like.
 * Use of a name which includes the letters BUNTU in relation to computer hardware or software.
 * Services relating to any of the above.

As Elliot recommends, discussion of this topic outside the realm of this bug should be taken elsewhere.
