Subject: Re: [dita] Use of term "DITA" outside OASIS?


Dear Alan and all,

Oh wow, the many ways in which I find that blog post (and the promised sequels about lowercase "lightweight DITA") problematic.
I second your concern/inquiry about the use of "Open DITA" outside the standard.

Colleagues,

I'm curious about the rules and constraints around the use of the term "DITA" (referring to the architectural framework) outside OASIS activities and specifications. It's currently used in company and product names. But this blog post gave me some pause --

While the ideas in the post are intriguing and worthy of pursuit, the name "Open DITA" may be problematic from the perspective of OASIS branding and potential adopter confusion.

Again, curious...
