These match my understanding.  Thanks for spelling them out.  That
project is an example of being a good ecosystem citizen whose name
we were happy to grand-father while discussing the trademark policy.

I can undertand the sentiment that we may not want to appear drawing
lines among friends, but ultimately the policy is about protecting
our friends from non-friends, so whether we like it or not, we may
have to be more explicit about who's grandfathered and who's not
than before.
