I cant take it anymore...
"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?"
Think about it this way: those who use Open Content
agree to be governed by the terms of the license under
which it is distributed. If you dont like the terms,
dont use the license.
And lets skip the "moral outrage" stuff. Limits on use
based on a licensing agreement is a core principle of
contract/license law. Dont act like this is some
uncommon thing. It isnt.
