It seems to me that this becomes a never ending discussion. For me it
would be a pity if we could not have models with whatever (legal) Logo -
but for me it would be an even bigger pity if the FlightGear -Community
would get into a lawsuit because of this with incalculable risks. So I
get the idea:
After being one party myself in one lawsuit based on "business law",
lasting over 15 years now, and having already 3 contradicting verdicts

suggestions by lawyers!) - I am sure there is no lawyer anywhere on
world who is able
