Just for the record, how many law suits do you think it would take before you lost your savings? One would do it for me. Perhaps you misunderstand how law suits work. They don't need to be justified, or even sane. Anybody can file a legal claim about any product, at any time, claiming that it caused loss of income, or gave them heartburn. It's not about threatening the project's existence. It's about personal liability for those claims. At the moment, we, the committers, are personally liable for those claims. Yeah, this happens. > > 'If accepted into incubation, Habari shall become Apache Habari. ' > > Dislike. Strongly dislike. Meh. Nobody cares about this. Did you see the article about Hadoop in the Washington Post last month? A few people on the Public Relations Committee got their panties in a wad about "it should be Apache Hadoop." Everyone else told them to get a life, and got back to things that matter. So, sure, officially, it would be "Apache Habari", much like "Microsoft Excel" or "Adobe Acrobat", but everyone will continue to refer to the product however they choose to, and it's really not a big deal. Seems a very minor thing to get uptight about. -- A poet more than thirty years old is simply an overgrown child. H. L.
