It seems all the noise here has prompted PTFS/LibLime to make a statement; seems they intended all along to allow unfettered use of the trademark both here and in the US, and they're willing to transfer both trademarks to a "Koha Foundation" on the condition that they themselves are not restricted from using the trademark as a result. http://www.liblime.com/ptfsliblime-granted-provisional-use-of-koha-trademark-in-new-zealand The only question now remaining is "why doesn't PTFS/LibLime already equate 'Horowhenua Library Trust' with their putative 'Koha Foundation', when it already has the non-profit legal structure they're asking for?" (Devil's advocate: Perhaps it's a matter of needing to add something to their Articles Of Incorporation, rather than just make a public promise?) -Martin _______________________________________________ NZLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.linux.net.nz/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nzlug
