What it says is what it means. But building an image and sharing your work
with a team (privately) is not redistribution.

You got the Idea Greg! A script is much easier to use than a set of
instructions and much harder to shutdown because me and any other developer
that helps me would be protected by our copy right over the script. That is
why Adobe flash downloaders can be distributed so widely.

Or distribute a python script that downloads all of there stuff using
there bandwidth and generates the new image :D

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

I am not going to worry about it, according to the following link that
is largely unenforceable.

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