Surely Apache has run into this before, no?
Yup. For example Microsoft has Avalon, and Sony has Cocoon. But our

So it's not *strictly* necessary to change the name, but why
risk when
you don't have a brand to protect anyhow.

I don't know much about trademark law, but doesn't it matter if their
trademark precedes our usage? I'm pretty sure I can't declare Red to
be my trademark and then tell certain linux distributors that they must
cease associating their product with mine... can I?

Hmm I have this suspicion that we are just an ancillary target, these
people probably really want to sue the virus software people who likely
have some money to sue for. The problem is that if they don't pursue
everyone, they probably can't go after the big one and have the courts

Wow Steve!
Impressive research :-)! Well done! Nearly nothing to add :-)!
Perhaps we just make sure that we call it Apache ANTidote on
