Can we change Apache Geronimo's name to Apache WebSphere and get a way with it?
The main point is that you and I disagree on whether FixFlyer Ki and Apache Ki are in the same domain.
I have neither broad nor deep experience with securities trading systems, but I do know what financial securities are. And I claim that someone knowledgeable enough about computer systems to be in a position to evaluate software for securities trading systems, should know the difference between Java security and Securities Trading.
But to answer your question, if Apache WebSphere were a loose-knit pajama bottom, I doubt that anyone would complain about the name conflict. As it is, Geronimo and WebSphere are in the same domain.

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.Do we want to get into this kind of tussle straight out of the gate w/ a podling that's been "using" this name for such short while?Regards, Alan --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
