It should be clear from my references that OSI does not have trademark
"Open Source"; thus they were not able to "release" it.

There is type of trademark called "community trademark" used for many
people at once, members of specific group and unrelated to EU
community trademark, but OSI did not move towards that direction. I
find their legal behavior in trademarks rather self-centered.
