Trademarks apply to a specific class of product. There is no other OpenOffice, Apache OpenOffice or OpenOffice.org that is a software application. This is why the jobs website Monster.com can exist along with Monster Cables, or Apple Records can exist along with Apple Computer. So long as we use the full name at first use for clarity, we should feel free to use the shorter form in the rest of the document. This has been our practice on the website, press releases, documentation, etc. Regards, -Rob > Don > > > On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 2:08 PM, Drew Jensen > <drewjensen.in...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Personally, I don't care about that other entity. >> >> >> On Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 1:53 PM, David Gerard <dger...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> > On 30 August 2013 18:53, David Gerard <dger...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > >> > > Nice one!
