And the spirit of the discussion is the same, are they violating the 
semantical issues of these things, or is does their intent make up for that.

Personally I don't care worth a lick for semantics, and I consider the 
fact that people do argue over this useless.

I also think the fact that anyone has trademarked Open Source 
ridiculous.  That is a sign that our society has gotten much to uptight 
about many things.
