La trademark policy d'ubuntu permet explicitement ce genre de chose:
Derived works. The ability to customise Ubuntu to meet your specific needs is one of the great strengths of free software in general, and Ubuntu in particular. While we encourage customisation and derivation of Ubuntu, we must balance that freedom with the integrity of the Trademarks and the quality which they represent. To help reach that balance, we have established the following guidelines and definitions.
We recognise and encourage the concept of a remix. Remixes are derived versions of Ubuntu, and it is intended that any software and hardware certifications will apply to a Remix. Therefore the changes from the official Ubuntu product must be minimal to be permitted to use the Trademarks. These changes can include configuration changes through the existing Ubuntu configuration management tools, changes to artwork and graphical themes and some variance in package selection.
Therefore, if you are creating a derivative of Ubuntu, you may use the Trademarks in association with the software product provided: the changes are minimal and unsubstantial, as described above there is no commercial intent associated with the new product
the Trademark is used in a way that makes it clear that your project is a development effort related to the Ubuntu source, but that the software you are working upon is not in fact Ubuntu as distributed by the Ubuntu project. The approved naming scheme to facilitate this is through designation Remix. For instance, a new ISO image which has been packaged special tools for software developers could be called Ubuntu, Developers Remix, or an image was has been created with Thai language packs could be called Ubuntu Thai Remix". Words such as Edition and Version should be avoided, as they have specific meaning within the Ubuntu project. Prefixes, such as ThaiBuntu should also be avoided. Any other naming scheme will require explicit permission.

A la rigueur, ils devraient la nommer Ubuntu Slim Remix pour respecter à la lettre la policy, mais ça n'enlèverait pas la présence de la marque, le coté "officiel" qu'elle donne et le fait qu'on peut l'utiliser sans demander la permission.
Par contre, avoir le droit d'utiliser la marque ubuntu ne fait pas de lui canonical, donc les accords éventuels passés entre canonical et d'autres entités ne s'appliquent pas. Donc s'il y a des trucs proprios dans son bouzin, il doit vérifier chaque license et éventuellement passer des accords, genre flash ou drivers nvidia/ati. Mais bon, si ça se trouve ils ne sont pas inclus ou les accords sont faciles à prendre, il faut juste vérifier, cf ce qui était arrivé à mlo pour une iso à base de mandriva.
