LEGO Responds to Business 2.0

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the doing-something-right dept.

Johannes K. writes "Here is an apparently official news message sent out by LEGO as a response to the recent article on mindstorms in Business 2.0. In it, LEGO states that they think it is great that people hack mindstorms and write their own software for it; in fact, they are convinced it will increase the popularity of the product. (Now there's an attitude you don't see nearly often enough.) However, they do have to protect their trademarks, and LegOS is apparently one of the victims of that. Understandable, I suppose."

    From the site:

    Finally, the LEGO trademark should always appear with a ? symbol each time it is used.

    Somehow I think there was a supposed to be a ® or symbol there instead.
