Quote"Marc Collin" < XXXX@XXXXX.COM >wrote in message would have to follow GPL, which would be TOTALLY AGAINST THE PROPRIETARY AND PREDITARY NATURE of MS. :) the word Windows does not refer only to MS Windows. What do you have in your home, car, etc, MS Windows or glass panes in some type of frame? The word Windows has existed for centuries and has nothing to do with MS. It also existed in the computer software world long before MS Windows was in existence. I can understand somewhat, about Lindows as a word play on Windows (especially in a society that is deemed not to possess even a moronic capacity for intellectual thought by the elitist), but I cannot, for the life of me, understand how anything related to the word WINDOWS, is owned. patented, copyrighted, etc. by Microsoft. That is absolutely absurd. I guess if someone had deep enough pockets to pay the "professional twisters of common sense word meanings, and basic etymology", then MS could be forced to rename MS Windows, since the word Windows was commonly in use, before MS Windows ever existed; both in common usage and in the software industry. |

Although commercial a clever choice I agree that this name is on the verge of legallity, that's why it is brought to court. But isn't everything MS does on the verge? Peter |

QuoteSaying MS has rights on the word 'windows' is FUD. It has the right on the ruled that the previous situation can not now be changed simply by throwing more money at it. So when MS loses their appeal to have US case law rewritten can we just go back to using wxwindows :) Probably not of cause because they have already lost the monopoly case and now just decide their own punishment in that! -- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services |
