Extremely silly. Take, for example, OpenText. [1] Nothing about it is free, or open source code, or in any other sense publicly accessible. [2] I don't know if they operate in the EU, but I presume any application for a trademark would be rejected. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenText [2] It's "Open" as it turns paper documents into more easily accessible digital formats. But not public in any way. | ||||||||
