Does anyone else find it humorous that this is happening between two CAs? It's always seemed to me that certificates (when combined with DNS) are almost the technical implementation of trademarks...proof of ownership over a name to prevent confusion on the part of consumers.
What's happening here is basically the legal equivalent of Comodo applying for a certificate for letsencrypt.org and claiming that it's okay because the people behind letsencrypt.org never did.
