XUL is a technology, not a brand name.
It's both. Companies trademark the names of their technologies all the time.
> XUI is a technology (the same
type of technology as a XUL) not a brand name.
I'm not sure the software vendor Xoetrope, who lists XUI as one of its "products", would agree with you.
> Gerald is right in
calling it XUL. Mozilla cannot claim XUL as a brand name since it is an acronym that represents a technology, not a brand name.
Mozilla originated the term, they claim it as a copyright, and members of the Mozilla Foundation have attempted to discourage its use as a generic term. What else can they do other than haul people into court?
