Definitely not. There is equivalent that doesn't require apostrophe or umlaut 
(diaeresis) characters. Legal will have a far less difficult time with this 
than flat out incorrect spellings, or new names.

Schrodinger is not the man's name, and is the wrong solution. Schroedinger is 
as acceptable as Schrödinger.

I disagree any duration of the incorrect spelling of a surname is acceptable. 
For a private/closed project it might be tolerated for internal distribution 
only, but I'm skeptical. For a public project I don't think it's appropriate.
