I think we should allow use of the name in limited situations. As another poster stated having a
"Dropline ReactOS" is not a bad thing provided that we setup standards on what has the right to be
called "ReactOS" and what does not. If anyone making or distributing a custom version of ReactOS
violates the standards we set forth then we have the right to refuse use of the name.

Thanks
Steven

Just put a trademark on the name but allow it to be used on
derivations on the circumstance that it clearly shows that it is not
_the_ ReactOS.
