I'm curious where anyone is even seeing that "Makerspace" has been
trademarked by O'Reilly. I looked at makerspace.com and didn't see
a trademark notice anywhere.<br>

enforcement that is the trick).

Sean,<br>
<br>
You'll have to ask O'Reilly to be sure, but I did
notice this language<br>
in the post: "Eventually, we’d like both of these
documents to exist<br>
online in a form via which we can all freely
contribute to the<br>
information and refine what we have learned about
running<br>
Makerspaces."<br>
<br>
My hope is that they do intend this project as
collaborative and not<br>
potentially punitive.<br>
