I wouldn't worry about someone thinking that Linux means something 2nd or 3rd rate. Hell I'd run screaming from anything that says Wind0ws and CNC or real time. This is just someone with funding that doesn't know much about operating systems or how to really judge CNC controllers. I work with all sorts of software with names I would not of picked with 20 ft poles. If I went by the name only I would not have much to work with.

Which EMC Corp sent the letter demanding the group stopped using EMC2?
There are at least three now.

https://www.emcins.com/ EMC Insurance selling insurance products

https://utility.org A utility services corporation

https://www.dellemc.com/ A wing of Dell

I don't see how they could complain if we went back to using EMC2.
Especially if we tagged it like - "EMC2 - A Linux based Industrial
Control". Or some such moniker.

The same name - three distinct industries. I didn't search deep and found
three major companies. A fourth would not cause any waves.

Well it could be shortened to

Nope, the dastardly EMC2 corporation would be all over us if
we did that.
That's why we had to change the name about a decade ago.
