Quick Question

[Erich Kolenaty]

Sounds great Harrison! But does this mean that, lets say Coca-Cola, could
establish a brand "Open Space" and prohibit for example the run of the site
"openspaceworld" because it is an forbidden abuse of the brand?

Just to think it through.

  Open Space, as far as I am concerned, is the natural birthright of every
citizen on the planet. To restrict its use in any fashion (for profit, for
fun, for professional advancement, for perversity) would be the ultimate
abuse. And the corollary of all of this is that the knowledge gained in the
practice of Open Space is equally free, and therefore to be freely shared.

  That's what I thought but wanted to double check.  Thanks for the exciting
description of why it is not 'abused'...

    Open Space - by any name is free. Always has been, and shall remain so.
All of which is to say that it has never been registered, copyrighted,
sequestered, or otherwise abused.

    Is the name "Open Space Technology" a Registered Trademark?  I don't see
it listed that way on any of the websites but I just wanted to be sure for
publication purposes.

    Thanks,
