Subdividing threads is common and easy and it is important when there is something substantial that needs focus.

There has been some debate on [email protected] when it is appropriate for a podling to start discussing trademarks, and to me it seemed to be something to be done when we are close to graduating. The owl is hand drawn by dorte, based on a photo taken and modified by dorte, so seen from that point there are no conflicts in terms of trademarks....it is of course a different matter whether or not the community like it. but as I just wrote in a separate mail, if you or others feel it should be discussed separately it is not a problem for me. <orcmid> Do not confuse Copyright with Trademark. That an image is the original work of someone does not prevent it from coming under trademark law. Trademark is similar to Patent in that respect, and in the US the administration of trademark registrations is under the same organization that deals with patents. The trademark status of the proposed name, "Apache Corinthia" and the use of an associated logo are somewhat orthogonal. For now, we can assess the design, its suitability for adaptation to various usages, and its appeal. Let's look at how the logo stands on its own. Since we're talking about a visual symbol, a good place to do this is on the wiki, where images can be included. </orcmid> [ ... ]
