That strikes me as a good reason to get the trademarks out from any
one person's control. While I certainly trust Marc not to abuse
them, nothing is safer than institutional protection. In the
unlikely event that Marc was unable to defend the things he holds in
trust for the community, some agent could determine that the best
settlement could be achieved by selling the "asset" to someone.
