Rendezvous Renamed to OpenTalk

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

    Maybe the FSF or someone in that league should try to trademark Open* names and reserve them for Open programs?
    Or will it be OpenSource like the name hints at?

    Wow, three Apple articles in a row!

    As for this article, let this be a lesson to you: if you sue Apple over a name, it is you who will end up having to change your name.

    Tibco: We want you to change your product's name. And give us $$$.
    Apple: How about instead, you change your product's name. Or give us $$$$$$$$$$$$$.
    Tibco: We'll change our name. Bye.
