On the other hand, the sorts of people that are liable to be confused by Debian trademark abuse, are also going to be confused by the distinction between .uk.com and .co.uk Cheers, Phil. -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] http://www.hands.com/ |-| HANDS.COM Ltd. http://www.uk.debian.org/ |(| 10 Onslow Gardens, South Woodford, London E18 1NE ENGLAND
