Legal basis for naming releases after "Toy Story" characters
Dear Debian Release Team,
I am Ryan Cunningham, a user of Debian.
Currently, I am setting up an Internet Relay Chat network named ChattyIRC. That network (which is not yet public) currently has a main server with a domain name of chamki.chattyirc.net, and a services server with a domain name of grover.chattyirc.net.
These servers are named after two "Sesame Street" characters: Chamki, a little girl Muppet from "Galli Galli Sim Sim," India's version of "Sesame Street," who loves to travel around the world and learn all about different cultures--especially languages--and Grover (from the American show), a male "at-your-service" monster Muppet who, among other jobs throughout the show's history, played a waiter at Charlie's Restaurant.
Just to be sure, on what basis in United States and international law is the Debian Project permitted to similarly give public-facing names of the releases of its operating system that are based on the names of characters from "Toy Story"?
Please be aware that I may use your response in a court case against Sesame Workshop and/or the Sesame Workshop India Trust, if they sue me.
Sincerely,
Ryan Cunningham
