> Synadia CEO Derek Collison told Runtime Tuesday that the company intends to transfer the NATS trademark to the CNCF at some point in the future "because we just feel that the damage to the ecosystem and the ugliness is not worth it for anyone." While nothing will be official until the lawyers sort it out, Collison said "my hope is that [this dispute] forces some open dialog outside of the CNCF and outside of NATS about the state of open source. I think open source for companies like Synadia is at a crossroads."

The claim is Collison directly to them:
