uff, well...
Well, this means that as stated by Tim, and which requires the licensing of
KDE!, only the artworks are licensed under a permit like, the rest is about
GPL, BSD or MIT. This means that the desktop of the Trinity can be called as
it want, except KDE maibe, since KDE noticed that has right next one an
"(R)" as very small caracter je je ... and the artworks must be changed,
since the 3 Series are CC-3. as stated in the verse 10 of the KDE Public
License.

Ideally, that would be nice if kde adopted as official folk project, along
with kde4, kde3 as Trinity fact desktop (because of series 3) and kde4 as
plasma desktop or someting. It would be too much that dream, it would be
that the join forces with Nokia & mocosoft are not a reality, and sun will
back and get java again? but the reality is hardes, and now must change the
artowrks of trinity, cos there are under CC-3 licence.

I hate using the worn out "win-win" phrase, but from kde.org's standpoint,
I
think that this project serves as an asset. It generates an overwhelming
interest in kde where that interest would now be with Gnome or Fluxbox
without
Trinity.
I'm not advocating changing Trinity to KDE Classic by any stretch. The way
I see
it, is from the branding standpoint of something like:
KDE Classic -> The Trinity Desktop
or
Trinity Desktop (KDE3 - next generation)
I haven't even thought through the formalities yet, but I don't think we
need a
rebranding of Trinity at all. Honestly, I can't see anyone's ox getting
gored by
the fact that there is still kde3 artwork in Trinity.. it's a fork, it's
gpl, we
include a license, that's the way it works...
If there are any concerns on the Trinity side, then they need to be
identified
and considered, and then if warranted, agreements sought to put the issues
to
rest, if any, so everybody is happy :)
I think Trinity is well known enough in the community that it can pretty
much
stand on its own as a name. If there is an arrangement that can benefit
Trinity
as well as kde, then that is something that helps everyone out and can
easily be
pursued.
