So if someone from Oracle choose to build and maintain it for Fedora
and cleared any trademark issues, it would be okay?.
It doesn't require a person from Oracle. *Anyone* interested enough to
volunteer can do it.
IsnĀ“t "Firefox" also trademaked by Mozilla Inc.? Am I
missing something?
I didn't say anything about trademarks but anyone volunteering to
package any software has to take into consideration the trademark
guidelines of the software in question. For Firefox, if you patch it
without upstream signing off on the patches, you will have to rename the
software. I don't think there are any problems with
Openoffice.org
trademark for the purposes of packaging it in Fedora.
