registration in the US. That's because the trademark had to be registered and
at the time there was no OpenID Foundation. But I believe it is now time
for the foundation to take ownership of the trademark for the benefit of the

Canada, Snorri and Mark Cross in Europe etc. I'd particularly like your
feedback on whether the language is also acceptable to you -- minus whatever
modifications may be needed from a legal perspective due to the various country
laws. We'll let the lawyers tell us about that ... but I think it would be good
if we all managed to more or less sign the same legalese and all the trademarks
were signed over for the same terms ...<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
