Dear Google, I'm developing a complex 3D game engine in Java since 2009 and now I decided to make it open source and put it on google code. I would like to use the JavaGameEngine name but there is an old project on google code using this name. This old project is incomplete and haven't updated since 2008. I cant contact the owner because he deleted his account and his blog also. It would be great if I could use this project name if the owner dont use it anymore.
Thank you for your help. Best regards, Endre Kantor On márc. 8, 22:28, Augie Fackler <[email protected]> wrote: > Looks reasonable.
