Canonical is well within its legal rights, yes, but it is by no means impartial. Canonical is also well within its rights to relicense bzr under a proprietary license (contributors entrust Canonical with their copyright), or close off Ubuntu from community developers. But there is obviously an expectation by the rest of the community that Canonical won't do either of those things. The same sort of expectation very probably applies to use of its power in granting trademark exemptions - some rights can be legally exercised, but would violate the trust that the Ubuntu community places in Canonical.
