    If you thought up the name, then technically aren't you the holder of the copyright to it?

    Did you agree to "donating" it in a situation where someone else could sell it?

    You can't copyright a name. However, you can trademark it. But on the expenses wiki, I don't see where anyone has coughed up the substantial fee to file for trademark protection. Nor do I see "SoylentNews, a trademark of..." anywhere in evidence.

    Personally, I like the name, and appreciate the pun (tho it takes on new meaning today).
