It shouldn't be "they" - this (P)PMC should be careful about how its marks are used, in order to demonstrate that it's protecting them actively. Failure to do so might make it much harder to fight violations should they appear...being unable to challenge someone using the OpenWhisk name in a confusing and possibly damaging way would be bad. An obvious example nowadays is someone distributing a Docker image or other binary named "OpenWhisk" and doing bad things...protecting our marks means making sure such things cannot be confused with this project's releases. The (P)PMC just needs to clearly define how its marks can be used, based on the ASF recommendations, and collecting examples like Rodric's is good for that. -Bertrand
