I've updated the T&B wiki to reflect this update, the existing T&B stuff from Sara (enthusiast buttons, fair use...) and references to the other various places T&B are mentioned - the OS.o charter, Sun's T&B policy, etc. Please read over what is there with an eye towards answering the question "what more do we wish this document to say?" One thing that has come out of the OGB/BillF dialog is that I now know all the Sun people who are involved in making T&B decisions about OpenSolaris, and we all are starting to understand and value all the various perspectives that are in play. Some of these people can't easily contribute directly to this forum, but they all are committed to working to make this exercise work in some sort of win-win way for both Sun and the OS.o community. Yes, there are some things that Sun can't change, others that aren't easy to change, and still others that Sun won't change. Having said that, though, I believe that there are positive things we *can* do together. I'd ask that, whether we individually agree or disagree with Sun's position statement, we commit to working together to make what we do have work for us all. http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Trademark_usage_and_Branding_guideline -John
