Not much we can do about that, if true. Sounds like the old "free software destroys intellectual property" noise. I don't really think that trademarks fit with the spirit of free software (despite it being possible to use them), and I'd raise serious questions about why they're trying to use them at all. Raising artificial barriers to forking is a *bad* thing. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | `. `' | `- -><- |
