 This contradicts several long standing items, however, such as the First
Amendment, Fair Use provisions of IP law and a fairly recent court ruling
which allows the use of a trademark as long as it does not exceed the
"amount" of the trademark necessary to identify the mark.

 Is it your assertion that those who publish OGC in accordance with the OGL
waive federally recognized allowable uses of marks?
