Koha creators asking for help in trademark dispute

The dispute is on several fronts (sadly), but HLT is the original commissioner of the system. They're the first user, if you will, and they've been continuously using the project's output. That's why this should attract wider interest: if the initiator of a FOSS project can be deprived of the name, is any FOSS project name safe for any user? Are project names only controllable by developers, not users?

Many Koha support and development providers have been around much longer than PTFS. PTFS acquired the interest underlying their claim by buying a company which bought the division of the company first hired by the original commissioner. Of course, they can't buy the Horowhenua Library Trust, so it looks like trademark law is being used to try to restrict them.
