Marketing: Let's rename it.
UBPorts project is a third party community that took over the sources of the Unity 8 project that was discarded by Canonical. It's fitting to give this project their own name as it is now their project.
Also to distance it from all the hate that usually (and rightfully) surrounds Canonical stuff.

They might not be able to develop it much further but they can probably keep it working like KDE3/Trinity and GNOME2/MATE projects are doing.

So basically its my assumption that other projects have to do the same: This world is unforgiving when it comes to making quick money with trademark disputes. Better stay away from them.Last edited by Flohack; 28 February 2020, 07:29 PM.

I personally didn't care for the whole Unity/"convergence" thing they tried to do, but I didn't hate on them for it. It was their choice.
