The story I was told was that the name MonoDroid has the term Droid in it. George Lucas owns the trademark to the term. Given that Motorola licensed the term, there was precedence for Droid being used in the mobile space. To be safe, they named it Mono for Android. Wally

Why did Novell/Xamarin end up going with "Mono for Android," when MonoDroid seems to be more in line with the existing MonoTouch name (and is so much easier to say and write)? Was there some sort of copyright or trademark issue? _______________________________________________ Monodroid mailing list Monodroid@lists.ximian.com UNSUBSCRIBE INFORMATION: http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/monodroid
