There would be no possibility of fighting these folks. In a way they do us a favor. While we do have a big history under the EMC name, the value of which is not trivial, "EMC" comes up short in terms of descriptiveness and search-ability as the multiple "hits" cited in previous messages illustrates. Now, often projects (and companies) change their name just to seek attention, or "create news" especially when they have no real, technical, accomplishments to boast of. If we had done the name change without the "threat", critics could point to us and say, "See, they change their name just to make noise!" Now we can gain the benefits of the better name, and if challenged, we can reply, "But we had to!" Normally I'm as difficult and contrary as anyone about being pushed around by bullies. In this case though, I just can't work up my usual angry lather due to the advantages of "going along" in this case.
