Or, you could take seriously what I just quoted above
and realize that MMY is giving his blessing to those
who want to teach independently of the organization.

He wants to keep control over the TMO's employees, as
any CEO would, but you don't have to be an employee
to teach TM as long as you don't pretend you *are*
an employee--which means, in this case, picking a
different name for what you're teaching.

I have to agree with this assessment. The former national leader of Pakistan  for the TMO lives in Houston and teaches TM how he was taught to teach in Pakistan. The TMO legal department tried to make him stop but they both agreed it was ok as long as he didn't call it TM. So he just calls it Natures meditation. He also teaches the Sidhis since he was a Sidhi's Administrator in Pakistan. I don't think the TMO has given him any more grief since they came to that agreement not to use the words TM. And of Course Sri Sri Ravi Shankar  teaches TM under the name Sahaja Samadhi. I haven't heard of any big law suites to stop him. As I understand it Ravi wanted to teach his Sudarshana Kriya within the TM movement and M said "no" but encouraged him to teach it on his own. I don't know if there was any agreement about teaching TM in Ravi's movement but since he calls it Sahaja samadhi  and doesn't use the trade mark name, it sounds like the same deal was cut as above.< I really don't think M cares one way or the other  if you teach TM on your own as long as you don't infringe upon his movement and trade mark.
