Considering that we have agreed to license our marks to the
Foundation, and that the lawyers tell us that this is the
first step, we have to have _clear title_ to them in order
to have a valid license agreement.

If there's an ongoing trademark dispute, then we can't
cleanly license the marks to the Foundation. It seemed
obvious to us in our post that we were explaining this, but
it must not have been clear enough. Is it clear now?
