        Ubuntu is a registered trademark and might not be possible to use in the future.

        Also, the project might at some point switch to an upstream Debian base and then have little in common with Ubuntu.

          @poVoq But the project has Canonical's permission to use the name Ubuntu Touch.
          If and when a switch is made to Debian, and this is the first I've heard of it, then it will be soon enough to make a name change. At the noment there really is no pressing need.

          EDIT: changed 'sanction' to 'permission' for clarity

              @UniSuperBox Fair enough.

              How can you trust that an app really won't send some company your location data, when you tell it not to? The only way you can trust a program not to do something it isn't supposed to do is if it is free software. ~ RMS

                @arubislander I think a fresh 1 word name not linked to anything else would boost the project.

                        I know but I meant I like the name. Something like that would be ideal for UT IMO. πŸ™‚

                          @Opolork Can remember a good cleaning product that was commonly used in the UK called JIF it seemed to disappear all of a sudden from the shelves. Years later I discovered they had re-named it but I can't think what the name is. Oh well I just bought another cleaning product; after all what's in a name - it's usually just for recognition purposes.
