May-be, you guys are too young to know, but to me Fedora Next, would be
a Fedora distribution addressing Steve Job/Apple's NeXt and advertising
for Apple.
That said, I would not be surprised, if "Fedora Next" would be subject
to trademark conflicts and disputes.
the word "next" in the context what Rawhide is?
seriously?
Well, I am just trying to raise awareness on a potential problem.
A brief and quick of the DPMA's (Deutsches Patent und Markenamt - German
Patent and Trademark Authority) on-line database tells NeXT is still a
registered trademark, registered for Nice Class 9, by "NeXT Computer,
Inc., Redwood City Calif., US" [1]
In other words, there is a potential problem lurking, IMHO.
