The only thing that I can say is that from the ASF's point of view
your project's name is "Apache Ki", no just "Ki".
About the actual risks associated with FixFlyer's considering that
Apache Ki infringes on their trademarks, the best might be to ask
legal-disc...@apache.org.
I won't jump into the project again, but in this case, I have a bit more
info to provide.
The problem has been postponed to le...@a.o months ago, not with a big
success. I mentioned the case during ACEU to at least 3 persons, two of
them being from the board. All of them told me to send the problem to
PRC (so far, no answer), mentioning that it was not worth the risk to
fight Juniper or any other company if the name was already used.
This is something I don't get, and I see at least two problems here :
1) there is no clear process to solve such issues. Should it be
processed by legal or PRC ? Plus those two entities are not responsive,
and if we receive answer, they may be contradictory. Again, we don't
need opinion, we need a clear and legal position. Opinions don't pay the
bill when it comes to pay a lawyer.
2) I *think* than instead bothering everyone in all those instances, the
easiest way to solve this issue was to change the name. But it seems
that some people don't like simple solutions... As a consequence, it
lasts forever (around one year, so far).
Otherwise, I totally agree with what Alan has written.
