Hello,

Copyright question: is it ok if I use Ofbiz as the name of my company that
will supply services based mainly on Apache Ofbiz to Romanian customers?
And also ofbiz.ro as the domain name?

Also another question
How do you organize your repositories, considering you will want to
contribute back? I was thinking about something like this:
1. Fork the apache ofbiz repo
2. Create a new branch for our production setup and customizations that
don't need to be contributed back
3. To contribute back create a new branch based on the trunk, naming it
after the jira issue, then create a pull request using this new branch as
the origin.

  I am not part of apache but I would avoid using that
domain/company name; it would make people think you are trying to
imply you are officially associated with the ofbiz project, as in
their representative or something like that.
