No, because it has never been like this before. When, for example, the ProOO-Box AOO-Flyer, paid for the community (i.e. the members of the ProOO-Box paid for it privately, because we have no Association), we naturally discussed the content together in the community and did not decide alone. I also think it is absolutely indisputable that we should decide together on things that affect us together and not leave them to the uncontrolled influence of those who pay. Nothing else is done by the ASF itself, which of course has rules not to let the influence of sponsors become too great. (I think Michael just misspelled it and doesn't mean it the way it is written.) What has just been said is not to be understood as a law, but _as the normal, reasonable way_, which we have always followed together. It does not exclude, for example, that project members may produce and distribute stickers (and more) with undisputed contents. However, one thing MUST be clearly excluded, namely that individuals (Companies, associations, etc.), have the binding right to create promotional materials of any content just because they pay for them. Jörg note: The trademark rights of ASF are of course undisputed and not part of my statement. But these are rights that formally we cannot enforce, but only the ASF itself. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
