Markdown as genericized

[Jeff McNeill]

Markdown has become genericized (and was never registered or defended as
intellectual property). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_trademark

The idea that Gruber has to (or even ever would) sign off on anything is
counter to his behavior and stated opinion on the matter. His historical
involvement and contemporary non-involvement should not become an
impediment or even an issue for markdown-related development.

Sincerely,
--
