I should also mention there are two directly related instances that matter here:
1. Canonical created Landscape, which is a similar sort of service. It too has an open client with a closed source server side. It is explicitly not Ubuntu Landscape, it is just Landscape
2. The service now known as buntfu.com, which is a service that allows people to list PCs running Ubuntu used to use the tag "computers for human beings" and was told to stop by Canonical
As a way forward, I suggest the following:
1. Change UbuntuOne to Ubunet. It neatly avoids the issue of violating teh spirit of the trademark, while still being clearly associated with ubuntu (ala buntfu)
2. change Ubuntuone.com to have two links, one to ubuntu.com and one to ubunet.com, much like the Mozilla people did with Firefox.com for a long while.
