The name "Geode" was thought up by the Geode contributors at Pivotal. Pivotal legal did a pretty extensive trademark search to ensure there would be no infringement. It was their opinion that there is low risk of trademark infringement with the AMD product. However, its fully understandable that Apache legal needs to vet the name of the project should it be accepted for incubation. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
