A license saying "don't use our name in your new name" seems reasonable even if your name is just a few letters (like "IBM" or "UW"). It is technically restricting a freedom but not in any way that seems meaningful. Where I think it gets sticky is if a license were to prevent renaming, or maybe to specify the name to be used for modified versions. A more difficult corner case would be something like "must not start with the letter 'a'" or "must sort higher alphabetically". - J< _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to legal-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
