Brothers and sisters, together we are stronger!
"UPDATE: After additional conversations with the open source community and the Gnome Foundation, we have decided to abandon our pending trademark applications for “Gnome.” We will choose a new name for our product going forward."

I don't read this as capitulation, not really. Basically it seems to
