Oh, sorry.  I missed that.  I thought that was all recycled from an earlier
discussion about other enterprises marketing separate QGIS distributions that
led to registering the trademark and setup rules how to use it.  I think at
least some of it is already covered there.

Well, I'd give that the benefit of the doubt - it's just the headline of the
message pointing to the PR.  And the PR doesn't say that they released QGIS -
but it doesn't try to avoid that anything the community did - which is probably
the majority of the mentioned stuff - is mistaken for their work.

That's at least what I filled into the registration form on their site to get
to the download to actually verify how different their installer actually is.

I didn't get a link yet - maybe I should have signed up for trial support ;)
