As far as I know the FreeBSD trademark is not owned by Windriver, however the
BSDI trademark is. The FreeBSD trademark is held by the FreeBSD Inc non profit
group.
I asked Kirk abt using the Daemon image for my (now half)venture of Daemon
Technologies(tm) (As it is also trademarked BTW) and he said sure, just send me
some money if you make any money from it and make sure that I give proper
credit and notice as to ownership of the Daemon image.
So basicly I think it is a stance of.. If you are a small fry and want to use
it, just make sure people know who really owns it, and if you are a bigger
entity, you better be prepared to share some moola And (probobly) give credit
as well.
