Ya, I remember reading their trademark policy a few years ago and thinking that it would be trouble if they ever tried to enforce it. One action item from this might be to contact Digium and put TAUG on the right side of the policy by obtaining permission to use the Ast*risk name for purposes of the group. But then what's to stop someone from advertising their wares and putting "Member of the Toronto Asterisk User Group" just to get the keyword. If they allow our members to use it, and we have no barriers to membership, does it become a back door to bypass their control? I don't want to start a flame war. The state of the law is such that trademark holders have these rights. Whether it's good for the community is debatable I guess. Simon, is this related to the name change on your voice/text adventure game?
