Hi!
Bekam heute Mail von Jimbo mit einem interessanten Punkt, den man vielleicht
auch dem Anwalt präsentieren sollte; das unten ist meine Antwort an ihn:

Regarding the part that affiliates the Verein with the
U.S. foundation, it seems to me that something in the bylaws which
simply acknowledges that the names 'Wikipedia' and 'Wikimedia' are
owned by the U.S. foundation as a matter of trademark would be
sufficient. If some future revolutionaries managed to take over the
Verein to put it to purposes distant from the will of the global
wikipedia community, it would be possible in any event to take away
the right to use the name.
I am not sure that this would belong into the German by-laws, as usually such
things need not be stated explicitly in Germany; since that is the case
anyway. I will propose it, though, because it does make some sense. I'll tell
them that a lawer should check if and where that could go.
Schöne Grüße
Alex
