That project is an example of being a good ecosystem citizen whose name we were happy to grand-father while discussing the trademark policy. I can undertand the sentiment that we may not want to appear drawing lines among friends, but ultimately the policy is about protecting our friends from non-friends, so whether we like it or not, we may have to be more explicit about who's grandfathered and who's not than before.
