The IRCNet can run on a free basis because it get's sponsored by ISPs (like Netsurf, Tisacali, NGNet, Edisontel, Stealth and so on) and universities which can produce traffic mostly for free. -- .''`.

Possible violation of the Debian trademark
Fellow Debian Developers, I am writing this mail in my role as member of Debian Desktop. It appears to me that I found a clear violation of the Debian trademark hold by Software in the Public Interest. When I wanted to catch the domain "debian-desktop.org" I realized that somebody else had already registered it. When I opened the website on that domain for the first time, it only said something like "Welcome to the Debian Desktop Project; this is not the Debian Desktop Project" and one could find some packages there. However, when re-visiting the site today, I noticed that the whole content changed and that by now, they are offering "Hosting services" as well as "Consulting" -- with debian-desktop.org as domain. The name of one who registered the domain is "Martin Alfke". I thus wonder: Is the "tuxedo.ag" which actually runs the webserver behind the domain "debian-desktop.org" guilty of violating SPI's Debian Trademark? What are your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance, -- .''`.
