> I think that trademarks are irrelevant to DFSG-freeness since if the Oops, I have just thought of a case where it isn't so, at least in Spain. The Spanish trade mark law allows the owner of a trademark to prohibit its removal from a product. I don't know what I would think of a piece of software with a name that couldn't be changed. It would make forking impossible... so now I know. Non-free. But it wouldn't be the case more often. More trade mark holders are more eager to have you NOT use their mark than the inverse ;-) Some hypothetical Debian Free Trade Mark Guidelines (DFTMG) would have this item: "the trade mark license must allow removing the mark from the work". -- Jacobo Tarrío | http://jacobo.tarrio.org/
