No, and I fear they may not be the only stakeholders to consider if we go that way. In addition, I wouldn't be sure of whom to contact. Note: the problem at stake is IMO not of "fair use" (a US special case of copyright exception), but really of "unfair competition"/plagiarism. > Maybe it's not an issue > for them and you could get some kind of permission to use current > name. I see 2 problems with this approach: 1) This would make the situation quite clear, but I'm unsure of the consequences. What has happened to Hedgewars makes me think that some stakeholder may pursue any opportunity of controlling the market through IP strategies. In Wormux case, only the name could really cause such a problem. 2) What is granted at some point might not be forever. In particular, even a written promise without legal basis could become insufficient. And getting such a written and legally binding promise seems improbable to me. But you're right it would be so much simpler. I'm personally unwilling to do it myself. I haven't seen any comment though on whether the renaming seems unfeasible.
