ora che l'ho letto bene, nel documento che ho postato in effetti si parla di trasferimento di Trademark da Centos a Red Hat, eppure sulla stampa specializzata da cui ho copiato il link parlano piu' di scontro che di unione, almeno verso alcuni sviluppatori Centos:Originariamente inviata da sacarde
"Over the past few weeks, we’ve attempted to document some of the issues that have arisen as a result of what Red Hat claims it has been assigned from a few of the current CentOS developers. The CentOS trademark issues boil down to these: (1) ownership, (2) prior assignments and licenses, (3) dilution, and (4) GPL2. You can only sell that which you own. You can’t undo licenses that previously have been issued and relied upon. Generic use of a term over a lengthy period of years raises a strong presumption of genericide particularly when there has never been any attempt to protect the mark. And you can’t breathe a trademark exemption into GPL2 just because you’d like it to be a GPL3 license.
These issues obviously aren’t going to be settled overnight. Indeed, there are “the usual suspects” that put a not in front of virtually anything we suggest. That’s perfectly fine. We all have the right to our own opinions. But, absent some flexibility from Red Hat, these issues will work their way through a very cumbersome legal process over many years regardless of the views of the armchair quarterbacks. We’ll be watching and, if it becomes necessary, participating. There’s almost a decade of history on CentOS that some appear to have forgotten or perhaps never knew. Suffice it to say, CentOS has had a bit of a checkered past. We’ll cover some of it in coming months to give everyone a better appreciation of the issues that are at stake."
Vedremo che succede, ma il mio giudizio comunque non cambia.
