The full use of "...registered trademarks or trademarks..." is important here because CLOUDSTACK is a registered trademark - and it's also quite an important name these days. But don't hold up a release just because of me if it's not already saying that, as long as we're clear on this going forward.

Also, the "or" means it can be used for any of our trademark attributions - while a little wordy, it does make it sound stronger from the trademark perspective.

P.S. Please address questions to trademarks@ instead of me personally.

Thanks, Noah.

I think in this instance, it can't hurt, particularly as CloudStack came
in as an already-established project (again, others have had similar
experiences).

I appreciate everyone's attention + fine-toothed comb review! I think
we're in good shape. I'm ready to send this out under embargo, but await
your thoughts on Monday's distribution time.
