I totally agree with you, but how does the trademark licensing help with confusion in this case?

If they were to pay 1-2e/mo to use the trademark legally, wouldn't the confusion still exist? Or is the full story actually that they have to pay _and_ actually offer it as stock Ubuntu?

AFAIK they must certify their images, which means they should offer a stock or a stock-like image approved by Canonical.

Unfortunately the only source we currently have is that tweet, which isn't the clearest one.
