F5 taking over nginx

[Gentry Deng]

Arbitration on domain names is not court related, it is provided by WIPO 
<https://www.wipo.int/>.

As far as I know, nginx.io (now is n.wtf <https://n.wtf/>), which 
provides a third-party Debian nginx source, has been ruled to be using 
the trademark in bad faith.

I'm sure freenginx.org will suffer the same fate.
