Alec Kinnear Sounds like advice coming straight from Redmond in the nineties and the noughts. I.e. if you don’t give in to us at Microsoft, our lawyers will annihilate you. Is this the spirit of open source? Is this the kind of “community” we are? There’s a very good case that Wordpress is not a registrable trademark as it’s in common use. Microsoft did win the Windows trademark case in the end but it was a close call and looked like open judicial corruption at the time. I’m not quite sure why you are siding with bullies Michael.
