Yes, clearly no progress was made, and certainly all the progress that wasn't made was in spite of anything I might have done. http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2007/02/msg00019.html > * there's a draft trademark license that we've been waiting for the > project to do something with it for many months (mentioned on-list > Sep 2005 and on planet May 2006 AFAICT), so please don't blame -legal > or SPI for our delays.
