Honestly, that's really the point where laws become unsufferable.... Instead of being protected for as long as you do not try to hurt people around, you end up having to leave with the fear of the law potentially destroying honest work even though you never attempted to trick anybody. If we have to chose between a different name and an accounting feature, I would gladly settle for refusing any patch for accounting and keeping our belove Sage's name :-P > One other thing, what happens if you trademark it in the US, and > someone starts legal proceedings against users in the UK? I suggest that we refuse any download request from UK connections in that case :-D Nathann -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
