Googling for, "ubuntu trademark," gets this as the first hit:
http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy
...and says this:
"Restricted use that requires a trademark licence

Permission from us is necessary to use any of the Trademarks under any
circumstances other than those specifically permitted above. These
include:
	* Any commercial use."
