Hi Mark, 2009/10/11 Mark Osborne <mosborne@ashs.school.nz>:
The fork has occurred, and LL has the trademark and the domain. One unpleasant possibility is a rebirth for Koha. If LL owns the domain, they effectively own the trademark.
As I have pointed out previously: The domain follows the trademark according to precedence established by prior domain name disputes. The (US) trademark issue is contestable and probably with a good possibility of regaining it if (note the subjunctive) it finally comes down to that. It may (again note the subjunctive) be that when approached by an organization with vested authority to speak on the community's behalf, LL will hand over both. It would appear that talk of renaming, re-domaining Koha are premature. The real issue at hand is for the community to vest authority in an organization (HLT imho) ASAP. Then we can get on with the next urgent issue: that of trademark/domain name. Kind Regards, Chris
