Hello Everyone,
David Ranch here.. the maintainer of the IP Masquerade and TrinityOS doc
sets (both are getting rather old). I received the below message and
while it could be spam, I don't think it is. In various documents and
web searches, there are a LOT of references to linuxdoc.org which used
to be THE domain to use other than the tldp.org domain. Linuxdoc.org
now seems to be a parked domain. For example:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO.html
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO.html
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Virtual-Services-HOWTO.html
etc
Does the group here have any concern about this domain being parked,
moving to China, etc? Is there really any trademark or infringement
concerns here? Their email states their new domains would unique as
they are adding the .cn country suffix but I thought I'd bring this up.
As to my legacy documents, I assume I should update them to use
"tldp.org" domain?

(It's very urgent, please transfer this email to your CEO. Thanks)
This email is from China domain name registration center, which mainly
deal with the domain name registration in China. On August 21, 2017, we
received an application from Jiaxun Ltd requested "linuxdocs" as their
internet keyword and China (CN) domain names (linuxdocs.cn,
linuxdocs.com.cn, linuxdocs.net.cn, linuxdocs.org.cn). But after
checking it, we find this name conflict with your company name or
trademark. In order to deal with this matter better, it's necessary to
send email to you and confirm whether your company have affiliation with
this Chinese company or not?
