Scott218, you are absolutely right to be amazed by the bizarre directions many of the posts to this thread have taken. Direct to your point: like it or not, UP has every right to ownership of the trademarks of all their purchased companies. Also, you should know that if a company knowingly ignores an unlicensed use of its trademarks, that can cause serious trouble down the road in the world of "real" business. It must also be said that UP is not going to lose a single customer, now or in future, because of this issue. Having said that, it is stupid of them to do what they are doing. Their costs of overseeing the modeling licenses will exceed - probably greatly exceed - any revenues. They should instead insist on written license agreements but make them free of charge for the modeling community.
