Is this good enough? I don't think so. The email quoted from Tuomo is two years older than the repost, so it is unlikely that it is in the context of Notion (also, he never mentions Notion in it). I'm guessing he sent it out to the Ion mailing list independently of Notion's existence (possibly before Notion came about? not sure on the timeline), but we cannot assume it implies acceptability of the Notion name. Really, someone needs to ask politely. :) ~tom == ¸.·´¯`·.´¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸><(((º> OSAS @ Red Hat University Outreach || Fedora Special Projects || Fedora Legal _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
