Dear Wiki incubator,
My name is Duc. First of all, God bless Wiki.
I do not know whether this mail address is right or wrong. I have a company in Korea for online game service and I hope its name can use "wiki". It will be wikigame and wikiple.
Wikigame means only for game service and Wikiple means the people who use wiki whatever. For now wikigame.com is owned by someone else who I do not know while wikiple.com is owned by me.
The name Wikiple is created by me and this means to connect all people in the world who use wiki service to make our world better and in effective way.
My philosophy is to go with end users and the poors. We plan to donate to them abt 5-10% of Net profit from our service and this will be also helpful to other wiki services under the name of "wiki".
Here I would like to ask 2 things; 1st, could we use wikiple.com without your permission? 2nd, we want to join one of your wiki service group. Is this possible?
We are very small company of 10 persons. I do not know whether you can accept my idea but I hope you can. If you do not control my issue, please FWD my mail to whom control, Or let me know the right person.
Thank you very much in advance. Lee.

Dear Lee Yong Deuk,
The name "wiki" is not a trademark or such, and can therefore be freely used by anyone. It's just like the word "website" -- a site on the web, but a wiki is one you can edit. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki for more information.
About your second question, could you please clarify?
Robin

Thanks Robin for your quick feedback.
Then I will understand that, we can use freely the word of "wiki" for our service. We will use wikiple.com for our commercial service as our brand name. I asked you this issue to avoid future legal claim from your side if any.
Our service "wikiple" will do online game and community service at first connecting many other service and user. This will be launch in 2 months. To answer to my 2nd question in my previous mail, we want to propose more detail again after we develop more enough.
Thank you very much. Lee.
