It is "pre-legal" and out of court, and often in favor of trademark owners or owners of famous names. PHP certainly qualifies for that, especially if you can prove that php.org received traffic which can be expected to be ultimately destined for php.net. The current use of php.org is not PHP related, and depening on the mail you have you can or can not prove that this person aquired php.org in bad faith, which would make it a case of domain squatting. Even if this is not the case, the PHP should have a fair chance of obtaining that name in an ICANN settlement procedure. http://www.icann.org/udrp/udrp.htm Kristian -- Kristian Köhntopp, NetUSE AG Siemenswall, D-24107 Kiel Tel: +49 431 386 436 00, Fax: +49 431 386 435 99 Using PHP3?
