No, you were saying that the IPMC has no say in this naming matter and that they should only be concerned with "release/legal/trademark/etc-type" issues. My point is that the name is the trademark. So, that would fall under the IPMC's jurisdiction. That's all I was saying. As far as there being a trademark issue with the name, I would think it would be pretty hard to go after someone for using the term "connectors framework." That's way too general. I don't really think there's a mark concern, per se. I voiced my opinion because the person opened up the vote and said only IPMC members have a binding vote. As someone pointed out before, it's eventually up to the board to decide if the project makes it out of the incubator with that name. If there are a lot of folks on the IPMC that think the name stinks, then it's a fair chance that there will be some on the board who think it stinks too. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
