@gabek@lukem So you could, for instance, set up an “Owncast Foundation” that is a nonprofit and exists to hold the trademark on “Owncast” (and any others that make sense). If it became a charitable entity (ex. A 501(c)(3) in the USA), it could also be a way for people to make donations to your work.
It would take some effort to set up, but this could be one path to go.
