I think everyone in this conversation is aware of that. Jiri said they were calling it "Wiki" despite it not actually being a wiki, which strongly suggests they are trying to associate it with Wikipedia (which is very commonly abbreviated to "Wiki" despite our attempts to discourage it). Whether it goes far enough to be a violation is for the lawyers to work out - I'm not going to guess (I think it is Czech law that is relevant, and I don't know anything about it - there is a lot of consistency between trademark law in EU member states, but I'm not sure of the details). _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
