You mean in case Trademark refuse to allow its use and outside lawyers confirm it is not fair use righr? Because Trademark, whoever that is is not god and I start to really dislike this conversation. Let me build one then, and tell you when its on production and if you don't like it tell trademark to sue me. There is no such thing as bad publicly for individuals in those cases. Which is why Apache would not sue, wanna bet? On Jan 2, 2014 7:31 PM, "Justin Mclean" <jus...@classsoftware.com> wrote:
