[Koha] Koha trademarks

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Whoops
 
"Liblime purchased all copyrights to
the Koha  code and marks that Katipo used to own"
 
ok that being so... it changes things! 
 
 
 
remember most of my time here was before KOHA  even was mark record  
complaint and certainly before lib-lime even existed!  I remember people in  
France  & UK not even wanting LC system in Koha...  guess that  got  straightened 
out eh  we have both dewey  and lc!
 
I wandered onto other projects shortly after I offered the suggestion to  
use google methodology as the search method.. and  as  far as I  know that 
was implemented.
 
Pat (?)  In Utah  was the  kati ki  whatever ya   call it. I sporadically 
monitor  the list.... but a possible  logo  war  got my attention!
 
What have I done in the meantime?  still museum stuff  but also  filmaking  
news shooting  won an Emmy (R) Award in 07. Life is  GOOD!  getting old is 
a bit creaky but expected!
 
Still waiting  for  Koha  to run on shared hosting with out  any special 
necessities..  due to the cheap cost of hosting  and large  amounts of storage 
available these  days I did not want to baby sit servers  any longer so 
years back went to offsite servers.  Makes it nice when you  are on vacation if 
there is an outage you just call up and prod them!

That is  quite a statement to make. Just because the source code is
open source does  not mean the Koha trademarks are. Do you think
someone else should be able  to make another ILS and call it Koha just
because they can? Liblime is a  primary contributor to Koha and has
registered the Koha trademark in the US  to prevent its dilution, the
same goes for Biblibre in France. Liblime  purchased all copyrights to
the Koha code and marks that Katipo used to  own, if I have my history
correct. I don't think you understand how Open  Source works all  that
well.
