<p>As far as I know, nginx.io (now is <a href="https://n.wtf/"
hreflang="en" target="_blank" title="N.WTF"
moz-do-not-send="true">n.wtf</a>), which provides a third-party
Debian nginx source, has been ruled to be using the trademark in
bad faith.</p>
<p>I'm sure freenginx.org will suffer the same fate.<br>

In terms of the trademark issue, Redhat had a series of meetings
with the people at CENTOS, at which time they hammered out what
belonged to Redhat and what belonged to the world through the
GPL. IANAL, but my experience with various law suits is that one
of the first questions the judge is going to ask is "Did you
attempt to negotiate a settlement before hand?" If the answer is
no, then the judge will order some sort of negotiation or
arbitration. Court room time is precious, and it is cheaper to
negotiate than to litigate. Frequently, negotiation yields a
"fair" solution.
