As I am sure most of you are aware, Horowhenua Library Trust is the birth place of Koha and the longest serving member of the Koha community. <snip>
Hi Jo, I agree with all what has been said, and I'd like to rise 3 points: == point 1 == 1 do you have a lawyer already ? 2 how much would it cost to build/write the objection? 3 what are our chances to win ? If #1 is yes, you should/could have an answer to #2 and #3 (for free). If answer to #2 is 100k NZD and to #3 is 5% chances, then => change the name If answer to #2 is 1k NZD and to #3 is 75%, then => fight ! (and you'll get the money) == point 2 == I tend to be very very very sad when thinking to changing the name. OTOH, in the greek conference, someone made a presentation about tools for small libraries, and she presented ... Koha ... with the "LibLime KOHA" logo :((( So, maybe changing the name will remove the confusion, and will be worth for all of the community ! == point 3 == I'm sure Catalyst have lawyers and Don will throw his hat in the game. In fact, Catalyst is probably the first one that could/would be annoyed by this trademark... -- Paul POULAIN http://www.biblibre.com Expert en Logiciels Libres pour l'info-doc Tel : (33) 4 91 81 35 08
