Yes, of course. And that's why everybody is waiting impatiently for a 
Koha Software Fundation. BibLibre said the TM will be given to the KSF 
once it's formed and everybody agrees on his bylaws. (Same for LL)

The idea behind the TM is that anyone would be able to TM Koha here, and 
could then threaten us. Of course we would have proof of previous use 
blabla, but we couldn't afford the process. oth, we could afford the 
EUR700 that a EU trademark required.
