Ahh I think I understand now. That would be hard to enforce if you release it gpled. Trying to control the trademark that way would be counter to the license, and if you sued becuase someone did that it *might* cause you to lose your trademark (I dont know what would happen I havent heard of a single case where that did happen with open souce). -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
