Hello,
actually, there are several topics:
- Technically, best is indeed if people enter our DNS servers, so we
have full control of the domain name, in case the domain names are for
the official LO or TDF pages (like in countries where we cannot legally
register the name as we are no residents there).
- Independent whether people forward to our pages or connect our DNS,
they could - based on the jurisdiction of their country - be held liable
for the contents, which is something they should keep in mind.
- Legally, we need to at least have an overview who registers a LO
domain name. We are legally required to protect our trademark. Although
I don't want to put too many limitations on people, legally we have to
acknowledge the name use and grant them a license, in case our trademark
policiy doesn't already do so.
In a nutshell: I agree that some detailed page with information on that
topic would be helpful.
