It was just a joke :)
I'm just saying that if that thread was the only
discussion on it, it looked indecisive. If Les had more private discussion
with the company's representatives then it'd be entirely different matter.
Have you or anybody asked ASF legal? If legal is not available for exactly
these types of questions, then I don't know what its purpose is.
Just FYI, it's now more than two months we are discussing about this
name issue. If we decided to switch from JSecurity to Ki, it was because
Juniper Computer is already using J-Security. It appears that the
FlyerWhatever company is also using Ki, and they made us know about it.
I don't want to rehash the hundred (almost) of mails exchanged, but be
sure we already asked Legal about that, and Legal don't care, unless we
get sued. Legal don't have the time nor the men to deal with name
collision. It's up to us to find a name unlikely to be jeopardized by an
existing name.
We thought that Ki was safe, and agreed about it. Bad move, and this is
very unfortunate. But in any case, we don't have time nor money to start
a dispute about the Ki name, and it's more likely that we would lost
less time discussing about a new name than trying to unforce the
existing one.
I'm not pleased at all about this situation, trust me on that.

what Legal is about.
