Thing is, what happens if someone buys a TLD via ICANN that's already a TLD on OpenNic?

Well, I see that the preferred way to access openNIC is to set resolvers ( https://github.com/GoTux/Bash/blob/master/onic.sh ), so those could simply ignore the new tld.

But yes, this would mean that domains provided for this new standard TLD wouldn't be accessible if you use openNIC.

Or maybe the dns servers pointed by /etc/resolvers could be smart enough to tell if the requested domain is on openNIC or on the standard TLD, and prefer the openNIC one if there are two with the same names (this really shouldn't happen and is in no one interest, but, well...).
