Only to the extent of prohibiting misrepresentation of other works, projects, and organizations as belonging to/being endorsed by/being part of Debian. That's a standard, acceptable class of restrictions, isn't it? This really *is* about misrepresentation and nothing more. If I have accidentally made the restrictions broader than that in my proposed licenses, then it's a mistake which should be fixed. Anyway, as someone else said, if you don't defend your trademark against those particular uses, you don't have a trademark anymore. The original and primary purpose of a trademark is to identify a business/product distinctively. Preventing uses which cause confusion as to the identity or source of your product or business is what you have to do in order to keep your trademark at all. > - Josh Triplett -- This space intentionally left blank.
