I'm pretty sure that distributing an image within a team is not the same as
re-distributing on the internet. Don't distribute on the internet and you
should be fine. You can, however, share the instructions you generated to
create the VM on the internet so that others that might be interested can
repeat your effort.

I allegedly violated their trademark because I distributed an Xubuntu VM

It will make me want to substitute Linux Mint for Ubuntu in the future.
