Saying that the Open Innovation Network now own the entire OIN acronym is unfair because as I made the point earlier, many acronyms are used can be implied for other things. Also, if Open Innovation should only be synonymous with the Open Innovation Network that would be very restrictive. You can't trademark open Innovation ad they are two genetic words, and since the OIN identifier isn't used on other open source licenses, saying it is unusable on behalf of an entity is in itself a restrictive principal.
