It is a trademark, but I have no idea what the terms are. Evan? did not apparently have much difficulty negotiating with Sellam to use the trademark.
Sellam is no longer involved in ownership or management.Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 non-profit. We own VCF East, VCF West, the VC Forum, and all future shows.
VCF Southeast, Midwest, and the European shows are independent, per deals Sellam made before he stepped aside.
