Thakuru and the Understanding of the concept "MOTTO"

A motto (from Italian) is a phrase or a short list of words meant formally to describe the general motivation or intention of an entity, social group, or organization. Many countries, cities, universities, and other institutions have mottos, as do families with coats of arms.
A motto may be in any language. Latin and to a lesser degree French are disproportionately frequent, because each was the principal international language for a considerable period. The local language is usual in the mottos of governments. (Wikipedia)

The same motto can be given to two different organizations or bodies depending on the interest and corporate culture of an organization. However it’s a big misunderstanding among some people who are not much aware about organizational climate and cultures that same motto can be given to thousands of organizations. These people often criticizes the mottos given to organizations due to their immature understandings.
One of such article is published in the following site:

It does not directly talk about the motto of the students association, however it gives an indirect message that it is not ethical to give that motto to the students association. In other words it is to say that the same motto has been copied.

I would like to request Thakuru who do not have proper information on this area of organizational climates not to criticize about the organizations just to create misunderstanding among youth. Because of the article by Thakuru, readers of that article may think that its not legally allowed to give the same motto to two different organizations. May be by doing this Thakuru wanted to give some wrong impressions to others about the student association. People like Thakuru ruins people by misleading information.
