That makes sense, Pedro.  The package names for Ubuntu-distributed packages
often have Ubuntu versioning built into the package name, but the product
when running doesn't mention Ubuntu, as the changes (if any) are minimal or
internal to the install package itself.  In cases like that, "Powered by.."
doesn't make any sense.
ASF has a pretty plain page about trademark use
http://apache.org/foundation/marks/ which helped me understand what was
going on when I was writing some pieces for training purposes.
