Do the people who own the Kevlar trademark also create software?
I agree that it's probably foolhardy to use somethin that is an existing trademark I can't see the Kevlar-the-fibre people winning any lawsuit. Although just the process is probably harmful to the Kevlar-the-software people.
There used to be a FTP client for linux called kevlarftp (it was a OSS clone of the bulletproof ftp client). Dupont lawyers raised copyright issues against the product name. The author promptly gave up and the software was renamed to "kftp"
Isn't there something that once a word is used enough and becomes an actual word in English you're not able to claim a trademark on it anymore? Or am I dreaming this up..
