But I don't own it.  I signed it over to BSDi when they merged
with WC-CDROM, and they sold it to Wind River.  Wind River was
going to give it back to me when I reacquired FreeBSD Mall, on
the understanding that it would be assigned to the FreeBSD
Foundation.  But their lawyers took that out of the final agreement
(not sure why).

So regardless of what the USPTO website says, Wind River owns
the "FreeBSD" trademark.
