Hi Noah, You raise an interesting point about trademarks. Are virtual paths in github repos considered a mark of authenticity? If we go by mere name matching, I see a possibility . However, Apache itself establishes a different mark of authenticity by placing 'apache' at the root of their virtual path. AFAIK, UK courts expect the average consumer to be able to grasp these subtleties. I expect this is because they don't like impediments to commerce. Also, they'll have to take a narrow view of trademark to avoid overlapping claims from github itself.
WRT emails for all GIT pulls, wouldn't broadcasting pull requests clutter the dev mailing list?
