Only thing I would say is that O'Reilly/CMP
did get heavy handed when the term "Web 2.0" was used in the name of a

hold a service mark on the use of "Where" as the title for geospatial
conferences...
IANAL - of course - but while O'Reilly have predictably trademarked
"Where 2.0", I strongly suspect that "where" is too generic a word to
put a claim to. Of course, I welcome actual legal professionals'
opinions on the matter (in a strictly TIMOONLA* sense, obviously).
Also, given that I'm only an individual, and not even a non-profit
organization like [EMAIL PROTECTED], I suspect that if I receive any "cease and
desist"s from O'Reilly it would only serve to engender more bad
publicity for them.
Thanks for the thought,
Earle.
