I'm sure they will. Trademark restrictions violate one of the four freedoms and if you want I can ask Richard Stallman directly if this trademark rule makes software non-free. Actually I'll just go ahead and do it just to prove a point. If I wanted to Fork Fedora, and I called it Fedora, i'd soon see a letter from Redhat legal. I'm not free to use the name. Thus, if I fork Fedora I am required by trademark law to rename it or be in violation. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
