Gah!
I feel rather embarrassed that again a fellow US citizen (well, entity) is causing this sort of concern.
Thanks for the link on the community site to the donations page. I sincerely hope this can be worked out, or absent a solution, a suitably representative new name can be found if it can't.
(Should that latter become necessary, I'd strongly recommend arrangement of suitably legal safeguards in such a way that ensures the interested parties community as a whole has both the ability to protect and participate.... if only to avoid a repeat of the hassles.)
The gang at the Apache Software Foundation might also be a good resource for practical advice as well.
Is there anything else that can be done?
Relurking,
Nick
