I think that we are unable to make it public domain because the ubuntu
logos are not public domain.

I think we could add more license options like gnu fdl and ccby.

Although canonical has a pretty well spelled out policy on logo usage,
I think they may have to also allow use under an open source license,
since it is included in the open source os.

I'm not very good with this licensing stuff though, so double check
all that.
