They do it by not including any mention of the name in the license and then trademarking the appropriate logos/names so that they can't be used without their permission (and then they usually grant a "blanket" trademark license so e.g. you can call your own compiled "AbiWord", but not "AbiSoft AbiWord" or something like that). This is IMO the right way; copyright should *not* deal with naming issues, that's the domain of trademarks. -- - Joe Wreschnig <piman@sacredchao.net> - http://www.sacredchao.net "What I did was justified because I had a policy of my own...
