Okay, I'm confused. Are you saying that Debian owns opensource.org?
But then why is SPI's name on the registration for opensource.org?
I understand that the impetus for creating SPI was to own the property
for the debian project. And that was seen to be a good idea, and SPI
decided to own property for other projects. One of those projects is
opensource.org, a project which developed into the Open Source
Initiative. A "trademark", Open Source, was thought to have been
created, and a registration was entered by SPI into the USPTO for a
trademark on Open Source. SPI also registered and owns
opensource.org.
These are all facts which I believe to be true. Do you dispute any of
them?
