Hi Chris,

thanks for looking at the ticket!
I'm just wondering what exactly is missing?

The section "Evidence of Open Source adoption" lists search results for 
sourceforge, github, google code and ohloh, the "evidence of registration" 
lists trademark searches in USPTO, Trademarkia and WIPO and the "evidence of 
use on world wide web" discusses findings on Google and Bing.

Are more details needed besides the results? I tried to not "conclude" anything 
as the guidelines said only facts should be provided.l

Thanks!
Dominik
