Severity of trademark problems
Moin!
Bug#152857 requests freeamp to be removed from the stable distribution
because upstream renamed (had to rename) itself into Zinf, because
AMPR is a trademark of PlayMedia Systems.
The website states: "Zinf is based on the FreeAmp source code.
However, AMPR is a trademark of PlayMedia Systems, Inc., and therefore
the original name of the project cannot be used any longer. On this
website the old project will be referred to as FreeA*p."
I wonder if we really need to remove freeamp from Debian stable.
(Similar to Netsaint -> Nagios, not all of netsaint is removed from
Debian either)
Regards,
Joey
