Sorry, Keith. You (again) are asserting personal beliefs as if they
were facts, official OGB positions or even legally defensible.
Just because *you* wish to ignore the civil/legal constraints that
exist does not mean that the rest of us should.
As an elected decision-making officer of the organization, both
the organization and you personally may be liable for the actions
you take on behalf of the organization.
Advocating that the organization flagrantly disregard trademarks
owned by others puts everyone involved at the mercy of someone with
an infringed trademark, some money and a lawyer.
Trust me, we don't want to go there...
