[Jimmie notes how this might not be a copyright]

It might be trademarked, I think, but not copyrighted. I mean, if
Microsoft can trademark 'Where do you want to go today?' (which is a
perfectly possible English sentence that can occur even in day to day
communication, for instance during a holiday or whatever), then Digicool
can certainly trademark something like 'Zen of Zope', which is unlikely
to occur in any non-Zope context. :)

Well, as another member of this community I agree too. Let's call our
documentation effort the Zope Documentation Project until we come up
with better titles. :)
