Description Christopher Ferris 2006-12-20 16:50:51 UTC

Title: Questionable use of fictitious corp. name "Contoso Ltd."

Description: The Primer uses a fictitious corporation name, Contoso Ltd., throughout the Primer in its running example. It isn't clear that use of such a fictitious name, without w3c copyright/trademark ownership, is advisable. Should a company be incorporated with that name, then the Policy 1.5 primer would be in essence providing it with free advertising... Worse, the company might sue the W3C for copyright/trademark infringement.

Justification: see description

Proposed Resolution: Change all occurances of "Contoso" and/or "Contoso Ltd." to "Example.com" and change all "real.contoso.com" domain references to "example.com".
