Using the theme as you see it here...
http://ja-test.haikuzone.net
...would indeed blur the lines between the official site and that of HUGs.
That's intentional, though.
The idea is that the HUG community and its ties to the project would be
reinforced by both the unified look and the common cross-site navigation
scheme, giving a stronger a sense of unity. As long as the use of the theme
would be allowed only on case by case basis, there is a lot to gain and no
downside, as the project still retains the ability select who gets to use it.
Anyway, the question that still remains: is it OK for sites like Haiku Italia,
Qube.ru and the currently in development Japanese website use the Haiku theme?
It's not clear to me from reading the updated trademark policy.
I will try to comment on the RFC separately.
Cheers,
Jorge / aka Koki
