s/copyright/trademark/.
As one of Software Freedom Conservancy projects, I suspect that the
Git PLC git@sfconservancy.org may be the closest to such "entity"
that represents open source Git community's interest to the outside
world with help from lawyers.
Not that I think Git PLC is interested in such a cross marketting
arrangement, but if Devart wants to advertise on their webpage
saying "we support Git by making contributions to SFC" or something
like that, they are the people to talk to.
