You can enforce your trademark and release a package under the GPL. The trademark is not an additional restriction as discussed in the GPL because it has nothing to do with copyright. Adding a seperate file saying "Fooglefont is a registered trademark of Geoffrey Washburn and may not be used without permission" would not make your package incompatible with the GPL. However, I suggest that you either study up on trademark law (or consult an attorney), give up the trademark, of forget about attaching it to your package. Trademark law is very different from copyright law. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
