        Another idea might be to contact SPI (Software in the Public
Interest) which have Debian, Fresco, GNOME,LSB, GNU TeXmacs and a few
others as listed projects that they hold the copyrights for. This may be
another route to look at as I'm not sure the procedure. I do know they
hold to trademark for Debian and it's managed by the Debian project
itself. I might be able to send a friendly inquiry to Ean Schuessler,
current President of SPI, and ask him. I had the pleasure of meeting him
over LWE'03 shortly after his promotion from V.P. and seems personable
enough. If not he may have some other suggestions for the project. I
just not want to do so and speak for Nagios if it is something we don't
want to do.
