Title:
  An amazon icon is in the default Unity Launcher

Status in webapps-applications package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  When installing Ubuntu 14.04.1 , the default Unity launcher contains
  an icon 'amazon' that links to a commercial website that sells
  products ( and does not pay his tax but that's another story)

  This default icon leads users to think that the Ubuntu
  project/community is a trying to take people to buy goods from a
  specific retailer which is really against the initial goal of the
  ubuntu project.

  How to reproduce :

  - Install Ubuntu using the default ubuntu CD 14.04.1
  - boot with the new user created
  - Observe that an amazon icon is present in the launcher.

  How to fix :

  - Remove this amazon icon in the default list of icon of the launcher.
