Ooh. I was with you right up until this example. To me, "GNOME-ish" means "reminiscent of GNOME but not GNOME", which seems like the kind of thing that _should_ be allowed. GNOME-erific or GNOME-improved or even GNOME-fork, yeah, I see. But I'd hate to see open source licenses getting into "that big foot-race that happens to be in capital of Massachusetts every year" or "I guess we'll just all say Superb Owl" territory. -- Matthew Miller <[email protected]> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
