I strongly believe that there is a significant problem with the open-source client being named ubuntuone-client. I think that Mark Shuttleworth with good reason wants a way for Ubuntu to make money. If Fedora were to integrate Ubuntu One, Canonical could gain additional customers and funding but I highly doubt that Fedora would integrate a Ubuntu product so obviously into their distro...for the same reason that Ubuntu likely wouldn't have "Fedora Movie Editor" by default (I suppose Fedora could rename their version of Ubuntu One as Fedora One but I think people wouldn't be happy...) but Fedora & Ubuntu do borrow technology from each other.

Suggestion: Call the open-source stuff something more generic...for instance u1 or ubunet. Continue to call the service provided by default in ubuntu-desktop Ubuntu One (like file-roller is Archive Manager). Consider how Fedora or Mint or whoever can provide the client with Ubuntu as a provider.
