1 Deedra pointed out that there's someone on eBay selling stuff w/ the Gentoo
2 logo on it.[1] We need to be more proactive about protecting use of the
3 logo or else we risk losing our ability to claim ownership over it.

5 First, do we (the Gentoo foundation) actually own the Gentoo logo at this
6 point or does Daniel still need to sign it over to us?
7
8 Second, once the question of ownership comes up, this would be an excellent
9 opportunity for some of the trustees who haven't really done much so far to
10 help out. Perhaps one of them could volunteer to take ownership of this
11 issue and see what needs to be done to protect our logo and other
12 Intellectual Property?
