#3I do wonder if it’s legally acceptable to use the name “Ubuntu” as part of a different commercial product’s name - especially after acknowledging on the front page that the name “Ubuntu” has been trademarked by Canonical.

I presume they want to use the name until a take down notice arrives from Canonical and benefit from the brand till that time?
Give that Deepin are a company, I would expect their legal team to either prevent such misuse or to ensure that the written permission is stated on the front page.

#6Looks interesting, but couldn't this just sit on top of Ubuntu as a interchangeable desktop environment like KDE, Gnome, Unity etc..?
Why fork the entire OS? ...

#7Looks like a pretty average Gnome theme with very minor changes from the default. What's the point of creating an entire distro flavor?

Ubuntu Deepin seems to be by an independent developer[1], not the company that created Deepin.

It's a pretty debian-based distro. It's made by a company in Wuhan so presumably it has great Chinese character integration, and, by extension, support for other alphabets besides en.
