Hi Peter, it looks like the problem with the usage of "Hackathon is solved".
>From their own site: http://www.young-targets.com/free-licences/ ##### Why? Because we did not first founded the nonprofit organization “Tech_Hub” that will manage the revenue for the free tech scene. We went a different way. We wanted to finance the creation and development of this platform by license fees. We are aware that we have thereby made us vulnerable, because you could assume, that we did this for a different cause. Thats why we will delete the trademark “hackathon”. 10 companies that have been asked to license, have been informed that we take distance from plans to charge royalties. ##### Regards Reiner CTO M:Tier Ltd.
