"Jono, I don't see your point - Ubuntu One falls afoul of most of those points, and "Permission from us" is the part that is a conflict of interest. Canonical cannot impartially decide to grant itself the ability to use the trademark".
Yes it can, as it is the owner of the Trademark. Canonical is well within its rights to allow any commercial vendor (Canonical or otherwise) use of the Trademark, and the policy is clear in this.
The question as to whether it is reasonable for "Ubuntu One" to have this permission is entirely subjective to your own views, but fundamentally there has been no infringement of the trademark policy.
