I know all about Sun executives making decisions that have no basis in reality. =) But, like the JCP, the OGB doesn't necessarily have to collectively back the position taken by Sun. Assert the power of the OGB - if the position of the OGB is to disagree with the naming policy, then refusing to publicize Indiana as OpenSolaris on the opensolaris.org site might be a step to consider. You may not be able to control what Sun does on sun.com, but the OGB should have the power to control what goes on opensolaris.org. If you can't do that, then it'll be quite clear to *everyone* (even Shawn Walker) that this problem is not about trademarks, but about enforcing direct control against the wishes of the OpenSolaris community as expressed by the OGB. -- justin
