Has anyone seen the Foundation nomenclature before? I don't recall hearing that anywhere.

I beleive the foundation nomenclature is from the original incorporation documents or the initial IRS 501.c.3 application. That would be FIRST's legal name. The other is the more common name they us and what is the mark they are protecting. It's similar to FedEx (Federal Express Corporation) or UPS (United Parcel Service). It's my understanding that changing that legal name is not easy.
