I do not believe that we ever had those domain names. I believe they have
always belonged to the current news gateway operator, Open-Source.fr.
It has not been the practice of the PostgreSQL project to assert trademark
against domain holders. It is dubious at this point whether we *could* do
so, as the defendant would be able to point to numerous domains which the
PGDG does not control.
