Yes of course.... and with more of then i have the same ethical question ...
But see the example of linux-sound, is usefull for all the users, and sure
dont have in their members the relevance of the members of the consortium.
Then i agree with their name.
this is one of hundreds of relevant sounding domain
names, the chances of
someone picking it by change if they want to fond information are very
slim, they are far more likely to google.
That's not a good example ... but ... if i register .. windowsaudio.org and is
a consortium of Steinberg and C-Labs for example ... sure Bill Gates don't
will be happy with that .... well .... in my opinion .. linux is from all the
people who mades something for linux, projects documentation ... etc, then i
can understand som people dont be happy.
For me is the same, i don't worry about, but a non-profit organization who
takes profit of their name .... creates flames :-)
Anyway this world if for the smart people ... or that i heard sometines.
