Another quick thought are the words "zip" "zipped" "unzip" etc patented but Winzip in some way?
so to use these words as a generic term for all compression, as apposed to just referring to a zip file (compressed in zip format etc), may mean its possible for Ubuntu to be sued for patent\brand usage etc (I'm not a lawyer but yeah that bollocks stuff). Windows has obviously paid out over these patent issues so can use "zipped" in there dialogs -- "Archive Manager" doesn't mean anything if you don't know what an "archive" is https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/15495 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
