This is beyond my understanding. ZC created Zope. ZC created the brand.
ZC is called "Zope Corp". Why on earth would they relinquish the core
asset that is their trademark and branding? It's theirs. They're giving
the full use of it to the community. What's wrong with that? Why do you
want, require, more?

The current state of what ZC proposes doesn't prevent anyone from doing
anything reasonable.
