I'm trying to come from a place of help, truly, so bear with me. You have to get out from under Google. This would be a red flag during due diligence for many investors. I'm not saying Google is going to fuck you over but why not just get yourself into a place where you don't need to be writing replies like this, and we don't need to be having this conversation. And also, I would strongly recommend acquiring trademark rights as soon as possible. If a foundation is formed later you can decide what to do with them, but having them protected is a huge deal. There's nothing starting me from creating jjhub.com tomorrow and that is a real potential threat for you.

Since I posted previously, I realized I had forgotten trademark entirely, and Google does own the trademark for jj. (See my other comments about the Mozilla/Rust connection, it was the same back then too). It's not an issue for investors, because again, Google does not own this, and we aren't even modifying jj at this point, and are unlikely to need to. The IP is very clear and not an issue. > There's nothing starting me from creating jjhub.com tomorrow and that is a real potential threat for you. That's fine! There's a lot of people already doing this, today. Competition is natural.
