"Ximian" of "Ximian Evolution" is also a
trademark, as is "Linux"
itself. Are people going to jump ship and use the GNU Hurd
kernel now because these are trademarked?
curiously enough it is not called ximian evolution in the menus,
although it used to be.
Please people, with all due respect... get a life. ;o)
Write some code, and contribute it. Improve the morass of open
source code out there, and make all of our lives better.
Ok,
I have written some code, I have made some people's lives better, I
think. So let me ask a few questions:
- If I were to use the Novell-Python-Libraries that were under a
non-renaming but open license and require them for yum would your
marketing and license people like that advertisement for your
competitors?
- What about naming yum redhat-config-packages-tui - could I do that?
OR would I have lawyers up my butt in 30 minutes?
I think some clarification would be good and I also think that there is
no need for telling people to get a life. They're confused about this
issue as I am, and b/c they are not lawyers we'd love to have some
clarification. B/c of the trademark issue people are afraid of running
afoul of red hat's lawyers, I know I am.
