Another aspect is to consider the difference between a registered trademark and a non-registered one. Registered trademarks ® are regulated Intellectual Property, for which one pays a fee and has rights and duties. It can only be ceded through a proper contract. I'm not sure a verbal contract or the manifesto would serve, here. A non-registered trademark ™ is just anything you claim as an identifying mark. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) macieira.info - thiago (AT) kde.org Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center PGP/GPG: 0x6EF45358; fingerprint: E067 918B B660 DBD1 105C 966C 33F5 F005 6EF4 5358 _______________________________________________ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
