http://www.freebsd.org/art.html "trademark holder for the BSD Daemon image)" seems wrong, should likely be "copyright holder for the BSD Daemon image)" See thread discussing this before & after http://docs.FreeBSD.org/cgi/mid.cgi?201002081220.o18CKXfL035625 From Oliver Fromme <olli@lurza.secnetix.de> CC'd Please consult Kirk McKusick <mckusick@mckusick.com> CC'd who could state if he has a trademark, when issued, when expiring, in which country/ countries, & registration number, & maybe link URL The concensus of the thread was to surmise an international spread of time expiring expensive trademarks wasn't likely attractive, & guessing Kirk simple held Copyright. But Kirk cc'd can state what's real then someone please correct whichever of the 2 web pages is incorrect. Note from Kirk McKusick: I hold Copyright on the BSD Daemon. I do not hold a trademark on the BSD Daemon. So, the following fix should be applied. Fix: s/trademark/copyright/
I hold a 1988 US copyright on the BSD Daemon. I do not hold a trademark on the BSD Daemon. Kirk McKusick
