The swastika (most known as "the nazi symbol") is an old "symbol of peace and continuity" coming from hindu culture (India), and as such it could very well be the symbol of Ubuntu (as the name has a similar meaning).
But what would happen if Ubuntu started placing swastikas in their logo? Hm?

Yeah, if it was named HTTP-EinsatzGruppe it would be an issue.

For example, the criticised "SS" is included in a logo on many modern computers, in form of the USB-SS, aka USB SuperSpeed, aka USB 3.0 logo.

aht0 beeing a German it's hard to not connect oneself to the second world war, because "we" started the whole mess. And we're still having problems with the right wing, see the "afd" and "npd" for example. We mustn't forget our hostory to never let anything like that happen ever again!
