(note mixed public/private lists) Thanks. The ASF has slightly different criteria for a name search than most software vendors, so this bears discussion.
If someone could forward brief details of the proposed podling, what company is donating it, and any other name search details to the privately-archived tradema...@apache.org mailing list then we can look into it. In particular, if the donating company is willing to do a more thorough name search with their counsel and send us the results at tradema...@apache.org, that is immensely helpful to us as a non-profit. - Shane Hadrian Zbarcea wrote on 12/4/15 4:36 PM: > This is an issue for trademarks actually.
