Although I don't like to side with Ian, because I believe that the ability to trademark a meaningful acronym is ridiculous, I just had a quick look on mozilla.org: http://www.mozilla.org/foundation/licensing.html In particular he is referring to the first paragraph on trademarks. It is also worth noting that Ian's name can be seen on a fair number of XUL-related documents on mozilla.org, indicating he is a contributer to both it's design, implementation, and documentation. Perhaps we should move from XUL to XUM (XML User-Interface Markup, pronounced 'Zoom') which, whilst an admission of defeat, would satisfy this rather annoying scenario. Either that or you should host your website in Hungry and then Ian has no right whatsoever to claim juristiction over your use of the term. - Charlie -- Charles Goodwin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Member of the XWT Foundation The future of the net - www.xwt.org ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
