I was a bit surprised by the usage of "sugaronastick.com" as well.  On
the other hand, since we can't seem to define what the SoaS
(sugaronastick?) project is or isn't, where is the problem?

Let's say (for example), that somebody had ported Sugar to Linspire
and made a bootable USB stick from it.  Would that be "sugar on a
stick"?  If so why shouldn't they use the domain sugaronastick.com if
they registered it before anyone else?

On what moral (not to mention legal) basis, would you argue that what
they had done was wrong?  Caroline did something related to Sugar, how
is this not a good thing?   Let the confusion begin!
Err maybe confusion IS the problem?  Maybe some concrete explicit
limits to things which
are documented somewhere other then rambling reoccurring mailing list
threads could be useful.

Yellow and Red are both fine colors for our soccer teams uniforms.
But it gets real confusing
for spectators if everyone on the team picks their favorite and so
does everyone on the opposing team as well.  It may not even matter
which color (definition of SoaS) we pick, but it does
matter if people pick different ones.
