s/copyright/trademark/.

As one of Software Freedom Conservancy projects, I suspect that the Git PLC git@sfconservancy.org may be the closest to such "entity" that represents open source Git community's interest to the outside world with help from lawyers.

Not that I think Git PLC is interested in such a cross marketting arrangement, but if Devart wants to advertise on their webpage saying "we support Git by making contributions to SFC" or something like that, they are the people to talk to.
