The simple fact of the matter is that, in the business world, when people want to license a particular trademark for use on one of their products, they have to get the prior approval of the trademark holder -- even if the trademark holder is a direct competitor of theirs. If they want the use of the trademark badly enough, they'll live with that fact. If not, they'll go somewhere else. It's that simple. Now, for the last time, I'm going to ask you to either decide to live with this fact, or to go produce a Linux distribution AND SHUT THE *FSCK* UP!!! -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
