- Domain name, should we transfer this to be in the group's name?
Yes.
Can we do it?
It should be possible.
Does SFC have a process for this?
Probably not -- it's likely one of those things we can/should handle ourselves.
- Trademarks, etc. on the Inkscape name/logo, "Draw Freely" and other
such stuff. Do we think this is worthwhile?
Yes, it's going to be an issue eventually, so it's best we cover our bases now.
Can the SFC lawyers help us with this or do we need to find an outside firm?
We'll need to ask.
- If we do the above, do we need to draft a little "fair use" document
kinda like the one that Linus has for Linux(tm) (used without permission)?
Yeah. Otherwise we have to be too anal about enforcing things on a case-by-case basis, and that's no fun for anyone.
- Swag. I don't know how Mental feels about it, but should we look at
using his, or making another, Cafepress site that marks up the goods slightly to put monies into our coffers.
Sounds good to me. We should set up a new Cafepress account with the nonprofit's tax information rather than using my personal account.
Incidentally, this brings up another issue -- we need to work out a scheme for securely storing/sharing the login information for various accounts which we create in the name of the organization, so the credentials are available to any of the board members if required (though for sanity's sake each account should probably still have a particular board member being primarily responsible for it, internally). Any ideas on that front?
