The merger changes nothing in this regard. I never said this had anything to do with the merger, I was replying to DES's mail where he said that there's nothing to stop us taking the project somewhere else even if Jordan et al keep the name. I still think that's a little silly since the FreeBSD project is whatever WC/core team/BSDI/foundation or whoever owns the trademark says it is. If you do something outside of the core team/foundation structure then you're not FreeBSD in my mind. You're absolutely right though, the merger hasn't changed anything that affects that at all. This thread has totally lost all its context, we should let it drop. Paul. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
