I made application which use Ubuntu, when i shift it, i will install Ubuntu myself and install application myself as one unit, i can have more unit for selling it all depends based on my marketing and budget.
In that case i have to pay to Ubuntu (i was not aware of this before just discovered today and getting confused now)? Does this mean Fedora/Archlinux should be the choice if i do not want to pay such?
Ubuntu policy says:
http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy
Restricted use that requires a trademark licence Permission from us is
necessary to use any of the Trademarks under any circumstances other
than those specifically permitted above. These include: Any commercial
use. OEM services
http://www.canonical.com/engineering-services/oem-services/oem-services
What will be the price like this service? Or is that not applicable for Ubuntu 11.04?

That was misunderstanding to me, i am actually using Ubuntu as operating system but i fall in to this model, where i just do remix nothing special.
Derived works. The ability to customise Ubuntu to meet your specific
needs is one of the great strengths of free software in general, and
Ubuntu in particular. While we encourage customisation and derivation
of Ubuntu, we must balance that freedom with the integrity of the
Trademarks and the quality which they represent. To help reach that
balance, we have established the following guidelines and definitions.
We recognise and encourage the concept of a “remix.” Remixes are
derived versions of Ubuntu, and it is intended that any software and
hardware certifications will apply to a Remix. Therefore the changes
from the official Ubuntu product must be minimal to be permitted to
use the Trademarks. These changes can include configuration changes
through the existing Ubuntu configuration management tools, changes to
artwork and graphical themes and some variance in package selection.
In general, a Remix can have applications from the Ubuntu archives
added, or default applications removed, but removing or changing any
infrastructure components (e.g., shared libraries or desktop
components) will result in changes too large for the resulting product
to be called by a Trademark. Note that if the nature of the product's
divergence from Ubuntu changes, the Remix naming and Trademark use may
no longer apply.
