#Apache folks, do you see the trademark policy of @EclipseFdn and @TheASF, combined with their respective missions, to be completely equivalent? If I'm wrong I will gladly shut up about it. I'm neither a member of the Apache Foundation, nor affiliated with the Eclipse Foundation.https://twitter.com/mmilinkov/status/1237944522912522240 …
I'd guess that most members, like me, have no real interest and don't care. But the board and the legal committee do take it seriously and try to police things. I can remember all sorts of trademark related spats over the years and they were all a net waste of time IMO.

Like I don't think it hurts Linux that there's "Amazon Linux" and "RedHat Linux" and so on. But ASF wouldn't like "Amazon Hadoop" or "Google Spark". Is that a net win for ASF? Dumb IMO.

I also remember the endless waste of time that was the Harmony fight with Sun over JCP or whatever but was essentially about using the word "Java". I don't think that did any of the parties much good.
