Sorry, but it's not up to them to like or dislike a name that has nothing to do with their product name. There is no trademark law violation here at all, so for them to claim there is, is disingenuous. So I say the name stays. > Is LF OK with saying: > > DarkRider, an openSUSE release based on the netbook user interface > that came from the Meego(TM)* project. > * Meego is a trademark of the Linux Foundation. We asked this weeks ago, and got no response, so why would we expect a response now? :) > Or must we remove any reference to MeeGo? That is not a valid request under any type of law, all they can do is say to use the "MeeGo (tm)" properly, which we have done so. thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
