Haiku Trademark Registration - Achievement Unlocked!
We are happy to announce that the trademark registration process of the HAIKU logo® has finally been completed (pdf) by Haiku, Inc.
Over the last year or two, Haiku, Inc. has been seeking to cleanup the Haiku trademark usage. The official registration of the logo was a major part of that process.There are several benefits of having Federal trademark registration, which include fortifying the protection of the mark and entitling additional methods of resolving trademark infringers. As R1 continually draws nearer, having this additional recognition and protection is a good thing.
Haiku, Inc. provides a page describing the trademarks and their proper usage.

Great news! Now comes the onus to defend!
And it's just like you FOSS guys to sell out to the highest biddy.

Thanks Urias and especially Matt for persueing this issue over such a long time. Nothing beats dealing with red tape, right ? :) Regards,

..and now that we have officially registered the logo trademark, we're seeking a deal to sell it to Apple or Micorsoft for an undisclosed amount - bwahahahaha!
If anyone's not sure, that bit was a meager (and questionably evil :D) April 1st joke.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO =)
I think everyone knew you were joking there with that last part.
Terrific news! I also think you'll have the Haiku name trademarked by July or August 2011 from the look of things.

That's nice, but what a lot of users need is pppoe support in order to connect to internet. Until then, no install on harddisk, If i had the know-how i would have done it (or tried to) but we don't need anything fancy, just something simple like pppoeconf in linux.
