Ubuntu 11.10 was Oneiric Ocelot, so Apple might not want to muddy the waters there.

I really think Apple couldn't care less about that, e.g. Cisco IOS.

They didn't just ride rough-shod over an existing trademark, and in fact licensed it from Cisco.

[I'm aware that Ubuntu release code-names are probably not trademarked since they don't refer to the official release of the OS. Still, reusing another codename that's popular public knowledge in the tech community? That would not be cool.]

Clearly Apple licensed it from Cisco, I didn't claim otherwise. My point is Apple does not care about naming collisions with existing products in the market place, which you haven't addressed.
