I'm not party to the negotiations, and of course things being discussed there could be very different to what has been announced publicly. But unless I've missed something Roger has publicly offered to give the technology and another domain to the community, however he has said he is keeping QRpedia.org. So we as a community need to discontinue using QRpedia as a brand.
Obviously that is unfortunate, but we should not look a gift horse in the mouth, what Roger and his associates have created and are giving to the community is very useful, we have no right to complain that they are being less generous than some might like.

Would I be correct in understanding that you are intending to retain the QRpedia website and presumably brand? If so presumably we will need a new brand for our QR codes and should stop using the term QRpedia except when referring to the site currently used to generate QR codes?
Given how well-known - and respected - that name has become, that would be a terribly retrograde step.
