When people sign contracts, it's usually because both sides expect a gain from it. Anyhow, as I have explained, I think that I will have less rights after signing the TLA than I have now (at least under German law). I could use the fedora domain without worries, allright. But now I would have to worry that I lose the right to publish my intellectual property when Red Hat revokes the right to use their trademarks. Plus I would now have to abide by a catalog of design requirements, in order to use the trademark properly. Some of those requirements even raise new legal issues for me. So what is my actual gain from signing the TLA? Especially when considering the fact that I have invested money and a considerable amount of time in that site, but did not make a single cent from it. Besides that, we're not signing contracts for fun. Pacta sunt servanda. It is careless to sign a contract in the hope that some parts of it will never be applied. -- Richard _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board
