FreeDevelopers doesn't have a trademark on DotGNU; it has a pending
trademark that is in dispute -- both with Cygnus' trademark on "GnuPRO"
and FSF's "GNU" trademark.

We have to clarify all these matters before we can go asserting the
trademarks, and I would like to wait out the trademark process as much as
we can; it helps our 'GNU' trademark if we do.

Thus, if possible, I would rather not enter proceedings under UDRP --
besides, who would pay for it?
