InaTux just stated yesterday that...

"Combat Arms, as of the `02-24-2009 [Unscheduled Maintenance]` update, no longer uses the Ubuntu trademark! A "cease and desist" order must have been sent, or Nexon had the trademark pulled, to prevent legal action. The new icon has a similar design, but, is far from the Ubuntu logo."

We win! :)
