I don't want to own it. The correct owner would be the PHP Association, or perhaps the Apache Software Foundation if for legal reasons it is easier to do that if we (wearing my ASF hat right now) want to register a bunch of trademarks.

That'd be a good idea. Is the ASF pursuing this trademark thing? Zeev

The only reasonable way to get the domain under the current policy

to actually go ahead and register the trademark PHP. I feel that Rasmus should do this (it doesn't cost much, and can be even done online at uspto.gov), very much [like] Linus himself owns the Linux trademark.

In that case, the PHP trademark should be owned by PHP Assocation which is a legitimate legal entity.

Absolutely. I didn't know about the legal status of it, so I reverted to Rasmus (who, I think, wouldn't be a bad owner for the name at all). -- markonen@php.net -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
