I heard this story months ago (maybe even on digg) Who cares, is it news? It would be if they would be sued by Canonical for that, right now, as it stands, there are two logos who look similar -- big deal!
Limited funds? They are not getting funded too much anymore, they are making money by support.If you think free software is free for beer (price), then you're so wrong.

I used "a year" pretty loosely, but it was on here quite a while ago. Also, check your math...spring 2005 was about a year ago.
