Subject: Re: MultiBind Testers Wanted However, the product name is protected. "MultiBind" may be an infringement of ISC's rights to the BIND product name. In any case, this derivative of ISC's work is not sanctioned or approved by ISC in any way, and in fact ISC's long-held position is that any proposal involving "multiple root networks" is nothing short of domain piracy and also violates the DNS protocol.
Now I know you (ISC) guys are nuts. "BIND" is, literally, the "Berkeley Internet Name Domain" server. If ISC's claiming rights to that basic acronym that was invented and existed long before ISC or even Paul Vixie's involvement with BIND then I'm going to have to go somewhere and get violently sick now.... If anyone other than UCB owns the name it's either Kevin Dunlap or Mike Karels. Certainly one of the latter is likely to be able to claim to be its creator.
