So, specifically, you do not want the *name* to contain the trademark. i.e. It cannot be "XXXXXX TradeMark". It could be, however, "Project Indiana, an OpenSolaris-based community distribution" which is the same way Belenix, et al. are sometimes described. Am I correct? Obviously you may not agree with the community part but that is your personal viewpoint. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
