Very thoughtful letter sent by Hacker Scouts in response to the Boy Scouts of America threatening to sue over the use of the common word "scouts." There is one section that bothers me. At bottom, if the Boy Scouts are willing to allow the Hacker Scouts to keep their name, the Hacker Scouts will make whatever reasonable concessions the Boy Scouts require to protect their trademark going forward. I'd prefer the Hacker Scouts to not suggest that it is up to the BSA to allow them to use the word scouts. This strikes me as a roundabout concession to the BSA's initial claim. It might have been better phrased as, "At bottom, if the Boy Scouts are willing to forego legal action against the Hacker Scouts ..."
