Sorry, I hadn't yet gotten around to it. Yes, your license is being sent back for reconsideration. The license is approvable, but we are concerned that you may be acting under a misunderstanding of trademark law and as such the license may not serve your purpose. The board recommends that you consider obtaining legal advice before resubmitting this license. -- -russ nelson http://russnelson.com | New Internet Acronym: Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | IANAE Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | I Am Not An Economist -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
