Hi,

I just have the following question:
Is the Name Debian in any way protected as a Trademark or so?
Especially in Europe/Germany?

Ciao, Hanno (please Cc to me, I am not in this list).

Someone was supposed to be looking into getting a EG Trademark, but I

Nils Lohners move introduced some delay there, but we fully intended to
