But there is absurdity here. "ownership over those numbers" -- what?
They don't want anyone to use these numbers? Even if we tack on "as a
collection" -- still absurd for a company who purports to be selling
color-matched inks. As far as "control over the usage of PANTONE", this
is a public, commercial company. They can't control every mention of
their company's name.

In the meantime, we are just trying to help users who wish to specify
Pantone ink in spite of any thoughts we have about their attitude.
