RE: The Results are in - The Minneapolis / St. Paul Meetup was a Success :)
Hey man, where did you get those sweet Steemit shirts some of you have on???
Can you send me one LOL!!!!
Our original plan was to have @artist1989 provide the image file for people to use, and instructions on how to print them off from Zazzle, but I found out after we made them that we technically weren't supposed to use "Steemit", since Steemit, Inc. reserves the rights to that..
I've seen some noise on that issue.
is this REALLY a thing?
We are all here together building this, right?
Does @ned really have an issue with this?
I would think not.... we need family, unity and commUNITY here for mass name recognition and adoption.
I cannot honestly imagine why this would really be an issue........... I have seen some of the stuff in cursory on this lately and just honestly SMH at it.
They are OK with us using the Steem name + logo, just not "Steemit". I'm pretty sure that it gets into a slippery slope - if they say 'yes' to one, then it opens the door for more. They want to reserve the rights to their company/brand.
Sigh.
I understand of course.
