Talk:Lightning (software)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Naming problem

There is a problem here, Mozilla doesn't have its name appended to the product name. Therefore we are breaching their rights. We should rename it to Lightning (Mozilla), or The Lightning Project, or something of that order T. Moitie ^[talk] 21:47, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

• Breaching? How? Anyway, how about Lightning (software) or Lightning (Thunderbird extension)? - Sikon 01:20, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Mozilla is a registered trademark of Mozilla. You can only use the name in officially branded names. Its why the unofficial builds of Mozilla Firefox are called Bon Echo and Minefield. We use the name as fair use in other articles such as Mozilla Thunderbird and Mozilla Firefox. Using it to describe a non-official product is breaching their rights. You know how Google are suing journalists for using Google as a verb? Those are the rights they have. - T. Moitie ^[talk] 14:45, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Yea I like Lightning (software), I think it would be ok there. T. Moitie ^[talk] 14:46, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Faisal.akeel (talk • contribs) moved it back to Mozilla Lightning without explanation, but didn't move the talk page. - Sikon 09:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

In fact, he did a cut-and-paste move, which I've duly undone. ::sighs:: —Nightstallion (?) 17:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Integration with OO.o

I don't know if it's relevant here, but OpenOffice.org is planning on using Thunderbird + Lightning as a personal information manager. Source: [1] Oberiko 18:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
