Aside from everything else, please disregard this particular nonsense. It might be preferable to not take the same name to preclude misunderstandings or out of respect, but there is no such thing as trademark protection of generic names. If you want to protect your trademark, choose a distinctive name. Anyone interested, look up "trademark distinctiveness", "descriptive marks, and "generic marks". -- IMAP/POP3+SSL/TLS are disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/44335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
