      A trademark is not same as a copyright iirc. Apple did not come up with the word apple. Yet it’s a trademark. And Apple has a track record of suing smaller companies for trademark violations with silly reasoning

      May be Xorg can sue elon musk? idk. Depends on whether they are willing to drain money in a legal battle with a billionaire

        It’s as useful as suing Trump. He’ll parade it around and use it for publicity, and stall and appeal endlessly. Then if you win, keep doing whatever and never pay anything.
