Sure, let's fight anyone who uses fragment of our 'trademarks'.
Or who use fragments of our 'visual designs'.

I feel that we are here because of what we want to do, not because of
what we've done. If we see, that we can be out-competed by anyone else,
who can be nicer and more efficient, let them lead the way.

Screw all that what we've built, it's all GFDL, it all can be forked.
Let's concentrate on what we, as a community may create and we
won't have to care about trademarks, designs or any power ladders.

And yes, you will regret the word.

Let's confuse everyone with the idea that knowledge can be free.

Let's confuse everyone that they can find information they need in  
seconds.

Let's confuse everyone by relying on idea, that in confusion people  
start to think and bring new ideas.

Total world domination is nice, but people should have a choice (and  
fun :).

And we should not be the watchdog of 'what is our only asset' -  
trademarks or whatever else.

Our real asset is potential. And if there's general feeling  
otherwise, that would be perfect demotivation.
