Not sure where to post this question or who to ask, but here goes anyway....
Who owns the trademark for XOOPS? For example, there are many XOOPS fork projects (for example e-xoops,
XOOPS Cube etc) that use the name of Xoops, and indeed other support website (eg. myxoops.org, planetxoops.com etc etc).
How can these people get away with using somebody else's trademark?
Linus owns the Linux trademark and allows people to use it to further the Linux cause (that's why we have companies with the name "Linux" in them).

But what of XOOPS? Many people use the XOOPS name. Does this mean permission been given by an owner?
Just curious. Has this been discussed before? Is there an official view?
