glad there is so much interest, and thing get moving.
My conclusions so far:
* Richard, could you please the last Q/A entry from the trademark page?
* I think it is fair to enforcing our policy of no unfair use of our name
* I agree with Richard that it will be difficult to legally pursue all
cases, but I don't think this should stop us; I'm sure in most cases a
kind letter asking to correct contentious cases will be enough; for the
remaining ones we can seek advice from FSF or others (otherwise why we
did the trademark at all?)
* therefore I'd like to send a letter to both qgis.pro and qgis.online ,
to be reused in all similar cases, kindly asking to stop using QGIS name
for their domains, stating clearly on their pages that they have no
affiliation with the project, and inviting them to collaborate with our
team.
I would like to reach a conclusion in a reasonable time frame, so please
others speak out.
All the best.
