tl;dr - the PSF, to defend the use of "Python" in Europe, needs testimony and
documentation to demonstrate that, for as long as possible, "Python" has
meant the Python language in order to contest a commercial trademark
application.
...particularly short letters from businesses, including businesses
outside of the UK (the latter according to this HN comment from someone
who claims to be a lawyer: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5221407).
Why is there no "throw it out as absurd within 10 minutes" process to save
everybody the expense and hassle? Including the company making the
application. Are trademark as messed up as patents?
