[lug] Visio for Linux? Was: stupid MSDN Q

[John Hernandez]

These Linux companies and developers really need to get a clue about names and trademark law.  There was a BLUG thread recently about how Killustrator was forced to change its name.  Yet again and again we see examples like Koffice (an MS Office clone), Kivio (a Visio clone), etc, etc.  It's a headache very easily avoided, IMHO.
