Things like documentation and images, and even trademarks need different licenses on usage. People suggested hitting mamario with a GPL violation; I was hinting that there could be other avenues to pursue.This was going to be my two cents. If someone within the group wants to copyright the Dolphin logo and trademark the name (completely different from a GPL codebase) it will be easier to issue some DMCA paperwork to 1&1 and shut the other site down. Might be worth collecting some money from the community to accomplish. He can still distribute GPL code legally and collect ad revenue, but without the official logo. The domain name is more complex, but could still be acquired with a U.S. registered trademark. With a trademark that post-dates the registration of the domain it will be harder.
