Re: Announcement of the OpenMATE desktop environment

The name is staying, as I've said before I don't have reasons to worry about legal implications since:

1. I don't live in the US, neither does my hosting;

2. I'll not be profiteering from the project;

3. This likely wouldn't get in any distro repositories even if it had a different name;

and last but not least important 4. it's a funny, silly pun on IBM's past and present products. Let them bicker about branding and identity as they have done for years, we don't need to do the same since GNOME/2 Is Not GNOME.
