I hope you guys don't mind my placing this RFC into this mailing list. A huge
portion of it surrounds licensing issues, and for lack of a perl6-animals list
this seemed the most appropriate. I've no doubt there'll be some chatter about
what symbol to use and whatnot, but I hope it's understood that my hope is for
people to accept Larry's right to choose it himself, which understanding would
keep such chatter to a minimum.
Now, the question is, is the trademarking referred to in this document contrary
to our current licensing theories? It would be a crying shame if Company X d
ecided to grab [symbol name], mutilate it, trademark it, and make their new
symbol a forced standard. It would totally kill the purpose for having it.
