Python is asking for the trademark ...
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, February 18 2013 @ 03:57 PM EST
But the fight isn't over the .co.uk domain name, it's over the trademark.

And the trademark is pretty cut&dried to Python-the-programming-language-
that-uses-tabs-for-scope.

But I went to your link. And the VERY FIRST document I went to said all this
stuff did NOT apply.

Follow the link "Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy". And I
quote from that document ...

"2. This policy has been accepted by all ICANN-accredited registrars. It
has also been adopted by certain managers of country-code top-level domains
..."

In other words, Nominet (the registrar in question) is NOT an ICANN-accredited
registrar and this policy is VOLUNTARY. I strongly suspect it conflicts with
local (ie UK) law and therefor CANNOT apply. Chances are the Nominet policy is
based on it - that makes sense - but local law will trump it, and I'm pretty
certain there is case law that DOES trump it. I seem to remember Nominet being
taken to court on several occasions in the early days way back when.

Cheers,
Wol
