I'm not being a troll at all, Terry. The ownership of the FreeBSD trademark has now changed hands twice, and it is not at all clear that the "rules" (as if there ever were any official ones) are the same. What really SHOULD happen is that the tradmark should be transferred to the FreeBSD Foundation, which should immediately create PUBLISHED guidelines for the use of the trademark. Then, people wishing to create products including or complimenting FreeBSD will know exactly where they stand. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
