Hi,
It's become pretty apparent that we need good guidance for people on this issue:
https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/LegalIssuesFAQ#Legal_Concerns_Over_Project_N...
I'm reluctant to attempt to draft any such guidance, but I assume it at least begins with "talk to the project's PTL privately and don't raise the issue on a public forum".
The Foundation staff should be brought in as well. First contact could be either PTL or a Foundation staff member, but both need to be involved.
Yeah, was thinking of PTL as first contact and we'd have another FAQ for Q: I'm a PTL and a legal concern has been raised about my project's name. Who do I turn to for help?" Cheers, Mark.
