Has anyone considered changing the spelling? Just changing the last i to an e (spamassassen) just might be enough.
If you don't then you can expect exactly this type of activity from Mcafee. Considering that Spamassassin is now the "preferred" spam tool for ISPs, and getting some great press, they would be stupid not to take this logical step soon. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Bill Sent: Tuesday, December 09, 2003 7:39 AM To: 'MIKE YRABEDRA'; 'SPAMASSASSIN' Subject: RE: [SAtalk] another SpamAssassin ??? > > Yep, it was trademarked by Deersoft, and now owned by > McAfee following > > their acquisition of Deersoft. > > > Crap!

Now that the name SpamAssassin is getting to be known as the premier product on the market you can be sure they are going to start using the name on a commercial product. I also expect to see them sue the open-source developers in the near future over the name. They are well known for their dirty tricks and questionable business practices. I hope the developers have good lawyers, McAfee has deep pockets and likes to sue. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
