Very specifically on these, I think it would be useful to classify the
IPR and related assets that the existing XSF has. My non-exhaustive
guesswork gives me:

* Trademark licences (I think the XSF has a trademark licence for
Jabber, though I can't find it)
This document can be found here
<https://xmpp.org/docs/Trademark_License_Agreement.pdf>, as linked from
<https://xmpp.org/about/xsf/jabber-trademark/background/>. Note that
this document specifically disallows sublicensing, but read on below.
* Trademark sublicensor:

Even though the JabberⓇ Trademark License Agreement clearly asserts that
there is an agreement between the XSF and Cisco to offer a sublicensing
program, we do not currently have any public document that explicitly
shows this. I've been working with Peter to assess the relevant
documents and whether we can make them publicly available. If so, we
will make sure to add them to this section of the XSF website.
I will provide an update when I have more to share.
Cheers,
