I am not a lawyer, but I have following idea in mind.
- We (the german wikipedists) found the "e.V." with the name "Wikimedia" inside.
- You (or the foundation) tell us (the founded e.V.) official, that you have the rights on the name "Wikimedia", but you allow us to use it, if we make a contract about that topic.
- Both sign that contract.
I think Jimbo would be OK if we don't try to *represent* wikimedia foundation, but rather *support* it. "Friends of wikipedia e.V." should be no problem, right?
