Have any of the Namecoin camps, either the main group or Trade Runner, been in contact with this lady?

Thanks for sharing! Anyway, I haven't had any contact, and to be honest: I'd prefer not to support intentional copyright infringement. Generally Namecoin would be the solution for such scenarios, but on the other hand it would harm Namecoin's reputation as well.

Everyone who knows me knows that I don't want to get involved in any politics and just want to develop tech.  But let me clarify two things:  First, I've not been involved in any edits of the Namecoin wikipedia page in at least the last year or two; I am contributing to Wikipedia only under my typical username "domob".  Second, I have personally not received any of the Handshake funds and won't in the forseeable future either.
Thanks for clarifying, I totally trust you! Regarding the handshake airdrop, I'm wondering as a multisig-wallet was used for the donation, as requested by the (involved) Namecoin contributors. You, as the main Namecoin dev, would without doubt be entitled to get most of the airdrop. I don't know what's going on behind your scenes, and I don't want to urge you to lift the curtain - but as I've said several times, it would be time to distance from "J.R." aka biolizard89 as soon as possible, otherwise you'll end up in the line of fire, as it happened now. My next step will be a fork of the Namecoin GitHub repo anyway, and guess who won't be contributing there...
