Maybe the OGB needs to remind Nexenta as well that the opensolaris trademark policy isn't done yet and that they should tread carefully. > You're enforcing specific rules for Indiana when really this should be > about defining rules for everyone. Indiana has, in the view of the bulk of the OGB, stepped over a line. the OGB should firmly state "we're not sure precisely where the line is yet but it looks like you've crossed it. please take a big step back until we figure out where it is". > However, that seems rather presumptuous since the community hasn't yet > defined what usage of the trademark they find acceptable. Indiana's use of "Opensolaris Developer Preview" is presumptuous, since it's not currently the work of the community as a whole.
