Just a small question as I edit the Wikipedia article on LEGO

What, exactly, is the difference between The LEGO Group and The LEGO Company?
Is the Company owned by the Group? Or did the Group change its name to the

There have been discussions here before about that very topic. A quick search
turned up this (http://news.lugnet.com/lego/direct/?n=4887) for example. Also
try here (http://www.lego.com/eng/info/) for some words straight from the
company’s mouth. To my knowledge TLC is correct.
A further comment about the article. The colloquial term “Legos” is a purely
North American one as far I’m aware. It is also incorrect as pointed out by TLC
itself. I realise of course that I am writing as someone with a specific
interest in the subject but I think that is part of the idea of wiki’s anyway.
Hope this helps,
Tim
