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"
