I don't understand why FOSSASIA has chosen to die on this hill. Why are they even doing this?

The part of this story that I'm missing and was waiting for you unravel is why FOSSASIA/Mario are so keen on holding onto the Lubuntu brand identity. What's their end game?

a good 50% of linux drama sounds like grandmas feuding

I can't understand what FOSSAsia actually gets from owning this domain... It's so bizarre. Is it just cussedness and the pleasure of being a thorn in Lubuntu's side or is there actually some gain in running this website that they don't seem to actually care enough about to keep updated?

canonical should make old iso URLs redirect to a special warning page

"the panel finds that ..."
- warwick A Rothnie (the only person in the panel)

i like how that person makes it sound like some group of people looked into it and concluded something, but it was actually just the opinion of on person.

My guess is that the UN looked at Canonical, a for profit company, then looked at FOSSASIA, which isn’t, and automatically assumed that the big company was bullying the smaller one .

Is it bad that I IMMEDIATELY guessed this was about Lubuntu by the video title alone?

FOSSASIA sucks and in my opinion is clearly is doing this to be an asshole. Screw them, and I have never even used or looked at Lubuntu.

that's why I don't trust search engines anymore. to get an official website, I usually check Wikipedia.

It sounds like it's time for Lubuntu to change its name. I mean I feel they're in the right morally in this situation, but FOSSASIA has them on a technicality. It sucks. but the easier thing to do now would be to change the name. Time for a rebranding.

It feels like a bug in the rules. I kind of get why they would be like this: generally when someone else was using a name first, you don't want some second party coming in and stealing it from them.
It's just in this case it's the name of a thing, and stewardship of the thing itself was transferred.

Lubuntume sounds awfully similar to lobotomy. Maybe not the best choice of TLD.

Not a legal expert, it is indeed both stupid and incredibly petty, though I must say this is a silly yet accurate example of what happens when the letter of the law trumps the spirit of the law.
Cue the Norm Macdonald bit about "everyone involved in this story."

Either the Lubuntu project had severely lacking terms and conditions for contributing to and maintaining Lubuntu or Mario should have handed over management of the domain back to the Lubuntu project once they officially left (or got kicked off of) the project. Something as simple as the following contribution agreement could have prevented this saga:

"Any maintainer may use the name Lubuntu in relation to the Lubuntu project so long as they are an active maintainer. Once they decide to stop active maintenance of the project or are removed as active maintainer by other members/maintainers of the project, then any products, entities or other assets using the Lubuntu name should be handed over to the Lubuntu project or should stop using the Lubuntu name from that point on (with a certain grace period)."

I'm not a lawyer, so this could probably be written in better legalese, but this would have at least been a start.
