From a reuters story:
Wildlife Fund Wins Initials Tussle with Wrestlers
LONDON (Reuters) - The World Wrestling Federation on Friday lost a legal bout with the former World Wildlife Fund over use of the initials WWF.
Judge Robin Jacob at the High Court in London ruled that the U.S. wrestling promoter, World Wrestling Federation Entertainment Inc., must not breach its 1994 agreement with the Wildlife Fund -- now known as the Worldwide Fund for Nature -- over restrictions on the use of the initials.
The WWF is much criticized by other, more principled environmental groups. Should there not be some sort of mention of this? I do not agree with this site entirely, but it does sum up the criticism quite nicely: http://www.bilderberg.org/bernhard.htm#1994 80.126.3.128 00:06, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
