Fascinating. My discussions with WMF Trademarks and WMF Fundraising lead me
to think that they didn't know of the existence of these historical
arrangements, because if they had I would think that they would have
swiftly approved the license request for logo use on hats, modeled after
the agreement with WMFR.
My experience with WMF Trademarks in general has been mixed. Sometimes
they're great and resolutions are swift, and sometimes there's clunkiness
and dropped balls. The situation with logo licenses for apparel is one of
the latter.
