This is not an auction, nor is there a price set.  Just looking for offers.  If you think that's crap on my part, then just let this thread die.

Theres my lil' Sajan. Long time no see.

I'll give $15?

EDIT: Didn't see the other responses.

Is it any different than owning a mispelling, or a brand name + another word (mac-stuff.com, fordtalk.com, etc)?

Interesting domain, would be cool for Ubuntu tutorials.

You can't sell this. As others said it's trademark infringement.

Of course he can sell it. The risk is that whoever buys it will find themselves without it if Canonical decide to go after it.

Nope, your allowed to create a site as long as it is in compliance.

You can write articles, create websites, blogs or talk about Ubuntu, provided that it is clear that you are in no way speaking for or on behalf of Canonical and that you do not imply endorsement by Canonical.

The key word is that you make it clear that you in no way are associated with Canonical.

It's more about the IO registry, not Canonical.
