A very valid point from DRH re. protecting the sanctity of SQLite, the (tm), but the horse may have already left the stable. A quick search on macupdate.com reveals the following products with ‘SQLite’ in their name (with the indicated capitalization) -- MesaSQLite SQLite Migrator SQLite Diff SQLiteManager X and SqliteQuery I am sure there are more on Win and *nix platforms. One question might be -- if one chooses a name that does not have ‘SQLite’ or any variations thereof in it (from what I can see, Noah called the product ‘sqlitecs’), then how does one indicate that the product is built on or inspired by SQLite? Also, is SQLite trademarked, or sqlite or both? I thought Tito Ciuro’s now-in-limbo QuickLite was very cleverly named, but it is generally gonna be difficult to avoid mention of SQLite in the name. > > Also, if anyone has an ideal about what to call it ... > Regards, > > Noah Hart > > > > Noah Hart wrote: >> >> I am pleased to announce that the C# port is done to the point where >> others can look at it. >> >> The project is located at http://code.google.com/p/sqlitecs >> >> Enjoy, >> >> Noah Hart >> > -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= Sent from Madison, WI, United States _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
