&gt;<i> &gt; If the name is used in a comment, in a procedure or variable name, or in
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; a url for technical reason, I do not think it need to be removed
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; ( except for technical reason, obviously ). 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Agreed as well
</I>
Maybe I misunderstood, but isn't it in contradiction with the
fact that you would feel safer having things buried in the svn, as said
later ?

&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> If the SVN is public and contain packages like mandriva-release, that's
</I>&gt;<i> opening the door for potential troubles.
</I>
More than any mirror distributing them ?
( but again, i think we should rename them on import, that's cheap
enough to be a good idea ).

&gt;<i> &gt; Hearst lawyers didn't asked to remove the name from svn/cvs afaik.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; Neither did mozilla asked Debian to do so for the mozilla/iceweasel
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; case. 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Doesn't mean it won't happen for us :)
</I>
Can you elaborate why would they be entitled to ask ?
Trademark is what would be protected, and again, that mean the trademark
is used as such.  


&gt;<i> &gt; /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/urpm/mirrors.pm
</I>&gt;<i> &gt;
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; -&gt; a procedure called    _mandriva_mirrorlist. Not a trademark
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; violation, as this is never displayed. It should be indeed changed to be
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; cleaner.
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; And some urls used by the procedure.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I would feel safer if all these get burried and don't appear on our
</I>&gt;<i> public website (viewvc).
</I>
Well, why ?

&gt;<i> &gt; Now, if we decide that we also need to clean svn, we can use git and
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; tailor to do some trick to clean the source code ( ie, in the case of
</I>&gt;<i> &gt; urpmi, remove the name mandriva from the pod documentation ).
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> We can start working in a private svn to clean the Mandriva references,
</I>&gt;<i> and only publish the last revision, containing a completely clean repo
</I>
So you just volunteered to do the job. Thanks a lot ( yes, it was a
trap ).

In fact, it depend on what you call &quot;private svn&quot; exactly. Who will have
access, who decide, etc.
 ( and private is maybe not really open enough )
