@meteor 商标我认为应该是属于 npm, Inc 的, 但 npm 不应该阻止 nodejitsu 使用. 因为 npm 本来是开源的. 最近看了 npm 的 github 项目最下边的 legal staff 更新, 完全是从开源向私有转变的趋势

In plainer english
npm is the property of npm, Inc.
If you publish something, it's yours, and you are solely accountable for it.
If other people publish something, it's theirs.
Users can publish Bad Stuff. It will be removed promptly if reported. But there is no vetting process for published modules, and you use them at your own risk. Please inspect the source.
If you publish Bad Stuff, we may delete it from the registry, or even ban your account in extreme cases. So don't do that.
