I don't think anyone here is trying to *stop* the effort. In fact, I don't believe people have said much critical about the plans for the group at all. I'll be among the first to wish them best of luck. :) Be careful not to confuse an active effort to stop the DCC with genuine concern that the group could be named in such a way that it might, either intentionally or accidentally, lead unfamiliar folks into believing that the project was connected to, controlled by, responsible to, or a product of the Debian project when it wasn't. I believe that the Debian trademark is a good thing because it lets our users rest assured that if it's called Debian, it is a product of the Debian project. That fact means a lot in terms of the DFSG, technical and non-technical policies, stability, and lot more. I think that's worth protecting if we can do it in a way that doesn't mean being a bully and abusing trademark law in the way it often is by big companies.
