OSGeo [1]. This link should be actualized and the actual situation of
gvSIG should be new exposed: names of all official committers,
relationships with commercial companies or products, patents,
trademarks, copyright, people actively contribute (code, documentation,
other?), actual sponsors, etc

apologies if the name of the project is creating confusion. gvSIG CE was
created as many other projects with the name of gvSIG. After the
creation of gvSIG CE, we were informed about the existing trademarks.

Yes you are correct, I'll update the incubation information as it outdated.

But it's not the responsibility of the trademark holder to inform to
anyone about this, is your responsibility to take or what you are doing.
As you state many communities and groups use the gvSIG logo and brand
and as far as they use a fair use nobody will ever think on ban
anything. That can be said also on projects that cooperate with gvSIG
project like EIEL, Fonsagua, etc. But creating a new project that tries
to rest efforts instead of adding is a completely different matter.
Comparing them is almost naïve. Except yours, any previous fork of gvSIG
was done by technical reasons, and with no intention to replace official
gvSIG development.

never work.

gvSIG association is investing resources on releasing gvSIG 1.12.
Directly. And with the amazing support of gvSIG Association members, so
don't try to spread FUD about gvSIG project not supporting its current
stable release because it's NOT TRUE.
