I'm not understanding what your objection is. Sellam has put a lot of work
into building what works out to be a brand. Is he not allowed to have some
protection on the name, or are classic computer events somehow exempt from
being trademarked?
Indeed. I view Sellam's attitude as a response to all of the people who
recently were saying, in effect, "Screw your copyright, I'm using your
name anyway!"
Peace... Sridhar
*IF* you put on an event of your own and choose to
call it the "Vintage
Computer Festival", *THEN* I will bury your event. Do what you like, but
find your own name.
This is why I wouldn't call it VCF or have anything to do
with the US
VCFs in any case. The mere fact that someone has enough ego to go "It's
*MY* name and if you use it I'll *crush* you, muahahahaha" puts me off
any further involvement.
