You probably can't name a project OpenWarp for the same reason you can't name a search engine OpenGoogle, even though it's a different name to the original. In this case, it's particularly confusing because the original warp project _is_ now open source.

I used Warp a bit on Windows. It looked promising, but didn't work quite as well as I would have liked. It's great that it's been open sourced.

Does anyone keep a DB somewhere of open source project names?

I think it would be better to give the code fork a different name.... And maybe move it off Github!!

I do have to admit, when I saw Warp I thought of OS/2, a long forgotten Win32-compatible OS by IBM, btw, does anyone know if IBM trademarked Warp?

[BeetleB]

You can't name something OpenGoogle, because the Google name is trademarked.

Is Warp trademarked?

It is, and the discussion is about etiquette, not law.

Even if it is not a registered trademark, it can be enforceable as a trademark due to common law

Yes it is, as another person has replied.
