We have actually known about the .free thing for a while, though I am
wondering if they are ever actually going to launch. The cool thing is
that I messaged them and showed them my .free domain on OpenNIC and
explained that I already had a brand on .free so if someone registered a
.free on their domain name it could be viewed as a trademark infringement.

They sent me an email back confirming that they would reserve
support.free on their TLD.

I am not a big supporter of intellectual property enforcement, but it
sounds like anyone who has an OpenNIC .free domain which they are
actually using can apply to have the name reserved in their .free. I
wonder if Julian can get for.free?
