I don't quite follow that.. so, from your perspective it is fine if
the OpenSolaris community has a bunch of source code named after the
name of 'OpenSolaris', but it is wrong if *the same community* has a
binary distribution with the same name. Is that it?
Because the rules are that the community does not have the right to
use the name in that way. Only Sun does. That is the point.
I can't still see how you got Sun involved on that. We are talking
about the OpenSolaris community distribution.. and even if Sun will
likely found the effort (I hope!), it will remain being a community
distribution.
Because only Sun is allowed to use the trademark in the way that has
been proposed.
