Hmmm, does Minoru plan to assert its trade mark against the Openhealth

I'm not expecting that I'll have to. It depends on the the other list
and my decisions over the next few weeks.
The way I see it, there are two possibilities for the motivations of
the creators of the other list:
Really, you can see only two possibilities?
I find your first one to have some probability of contributing to the
rise of the new list, but your second possibility, in my opinion has a
very low probability of contributing to the rise of the new list. The
highest probability of why a new list exists, I believe, is that this
list ceased to have any significant value to the list members.
1) It really is a question of the technical capabilities of the list
and the lack of support.

2) The motivation is to profit from the goodwill that Minoru has in
the community on an ongoing basis.

It is up to you. Why are you here?
Because at one time it was a good place to be and then it ceased to have
value. Since it cost virtually nothing to stay the lack of value was
not sufficient motivation to attempt to leave. I did notice that others
spent some effort trying to leave to no avail, so why bother? And to
further my argument, this would not be the first list I have belonged to
that just petered out without me having to do a thing about it.
