This does not have a (TM) after Apache OpenOffice. I thought this was the original cause of objection. And, we can see from the listings on the consultants page that we did not enforce a (TM) after Apache OpenOffice on the consultants page. * there are the actual websites of the consultants, like yours, and this submitted one up for consideration. It seems there is more concern to enforce a (TM) symbol after Apache OpenOffice for these third party websites. However, this is not something required by Apache. See: http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/faq/#attribution The important factor is referencing OpenOffice as "Apache OpenOffice", and not the use the of the (TM) after the name. The website, http://www.jm-schmidt.de/inhalt.html, seems to have all bases covered near as I can tell -- correct naming and use of (TM). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better.
