Re: [OM Cooker] Odp.: Re: Odp.: Re: Problem updating system

To be honest it can obviously be a real problem, that's true. It's why 
some people were in favour to change, at least, the name of the 
distribution. But for now, there is strong confidence between the 
current people of Mandriva SA and OpenMandriva. Of course, we don't 
know who will be in Mandriva SA in the future, if ever it's bought by a 
Oil/Gaz company, we could face some problems. Even if we have the 
rights to use the name, we will certainly not be able pay lawyers to 
defend our rights, unless we, for some reason, become very rich. OTOH 
in few years, we may simply not exist anymore, so let's say it's a 
secondary problem for now :)

It's sure that there is a long road, maybe we'll face some 
complication, but maybe not.

This discussion is perfectly welcome, but imho should take place in 
om-general, rather than bothering the moondrake group who, lucky them, 
should not have this additional topic to think about :)
