Oh, I'm sorry, Dave.  I thought I was making it clear, on this change of 
subject, that I am not talking about trademarks but only 3rd parties deriving 
from ALv2 code itself, including by "rebasing," forking, or any other means.

With regard to the use of marks and "Powered By" I agree that is separate and 
find your comments about that on the other thread interesting.  I agree that is 
about permitting use of ASF trademarks.  I responded to that separately.

Discussion ...)

I appreciate all your diligence about licenses. It is valuable. Whatever you 
want to call this thread ...

One intention was to discuss what if anything is required with respect to 
trademarks when ANY third party product is (re)based on Apache OpenOffice.

For example it cannot be called OpenOffice. If there are exceptions to this 
then these should be openly and explicitly acknowledged. I am not saying that 
there are any.

You are missing the idea of creating a Powered By designation which is about 
trademark and not the license.

If no one is interested then fine. If everyone is happy with the status quo so 
be it, but I don't think it is the case.

Regards,
Dave
