<div class="moz-text-flowed" style="font-family: -moz-fixed;
font-size: 12px;" lang="x-unicode">So, pursuant to Ken Whistler's
advice from back in <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2016-m11/0091.html">https://unicode.org/mail-arch/unicode-ml/y2016-m11/0091.html</a>,
I submitted a request (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2021/21155-klingon-req.pdf">https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2021/21155-klingon-req.pdf</a>)
to have motion 87-M3 rescinded, thereby making it permissible at
least to discuss Klingon on its merits.
<br>
<br>
Although a formal response is yet to be recorded, I have been
informed that Unicode is declining to rescind its decision, absent
some sort of consent from Paramount, etc. And so I ask again: can
someone please tell me what the difference is between Klingon and
tengwar (or Cirth, etc) that one has this extra hoop to jump
through (getting the decision rescinded) and one doesn't? As far
as I know, tengwar is in the same situation as regards
intellectual property. If I know how they're different, maybe I
can see about getting Klingon into line with it so they'll be in
the same situation. Can anyone help me find out what the
difference is?
