What compromise can be had, when the distros never try to be
constructive?

Trademarks (tm) don't need to be registered (R). Under the Finnish law,
registered and unregistered trademarks are almost equal; under other
legislations not necessarily entirely so, but there's still some protection.

As I have mentioned, the powerful distros expect authors to be their
undemanding and unquestioning slaves. "They" were right: FOSS is comm^W
collectivist. There's no room for authors, only a herd -- controlled
by The Par^Wdistros. Authors are supposed to be content with having
served the "common good" -- i.e. the distros' good.
