Rendezvous Renamed to OpenTalk

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the legal-chest-thumping dept.

Gogo Dodo writes "Back in August, Slashdot covered Tibco suing Apple over the Rendezvous trademark. AppleInsider now reports that the lawsuit has been settled and Rendezvous' new name will be OpenTalk." Meanwhile Zeroconf sits in the corner and cries.

    Lots of programs are build on open standards.

    Internet Explorer, by Microsoft, is based on open standards like TCP/IP and HTTP, as is Microsoft Outlook partially based on the open SMTP standard, so that argument is spurious at best.

    As for being "based on" an open source project. What's it based on? Which license does the original program use? Something BSD-like, since the Rendevous program itself does not appear to be Free Software from what I found on the web site.
