As far as domain squatters, I have seen nothing that suggests that those who want to confuse users lack creativity and the means to pick names that are just as good as the ones on your list, e.g., openoffice.fm. So I'm not sure we actually prevent anything by registering these domains. Of course, the easy decision is simply to say "yes" to everything. But unless the ASF gets free registrations, this is a cost that will need to be handled on an ongoing basis. > A. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > > similar-domains > > www-open-office.org ooo3.org testopenoffice.org > > > > > > > nls-domains > > openoffice-pt.com openoffice-pl.com openoffice-nl.com > openoffice-fr.com > openoffice09fr.com openoffice-gratuit.com de-openoffice.org > deopenoffice.org > de-openoffice.com deopenoffice.com es-openoffice.com > esopenoffice.com > fr-openoffice.com fropenoffice.com it-openoffice.com > itopenoffice.com > en-openoffice.org enopenoffice.org es-openoffice.org > esopenoffice.org > fr-openoffice.org it-openoffice.org itopenoffice.org > nl-openoffice.org > nlopenoffice.org > > > > >
