In general, we don't have to address this with a trademark policy. The wrath of a dozen or so Debian developers is probably sufficient. A trademark policy could reduce that risks for those wanting to use the name "Debian", but it's hard to believe that we would come up with a policy that is generally agreed upon. And there's still the issue of freedom. At the heart, the problem shown by the present example is not even a trademark problem. Some organization could claim they form the core of Debian, in a way that uses the mark legitimately. Even in this case, we should point out that such claims are false. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
