I don't really want to register on a new forum, just to post one comment, so feel free to copy and post what I'm about to say: The issue here is the "TRON" trademark, which is held by Disney. Fedora's legal counsel has advised us that having a "TRON" videogame which uses the trademark to describe itself is almost certainly trademark infringement. Since Fedora doesn't want to expose itself to unnecessary legal risk, we cannot include Armagetron as is. This policy applies to all trademarks used in software, not just this case. Perhaps "LightCycles" would be a better name than WeaselCycles, but anything without "TRON" in it will probably be fine. ~spot _______________________________________________ Fedora-games-list mailing list Fedora-games-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-games-list
