Hi Jesse, There's no truth to that, and we've already promised as much: http://blog.esilibrary.com/2009/09/16/the-equinox-promise/ Besides, "official" is whatever the community decides is "official". DIG is coming up with "official" documentation, and they're all volunteers. The Georgia Public Library Service does own the Evergreen trademark, but I believe the plan there is transfer that to an Evergreen foundation once one is formed. Thanks for bringing it up! Can't abide FUD. -- Jason Etheridge | VP, Tactical Development | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [email protected] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com Please join us for the Evergreen 2010 International Conference!
