[LEDE-DEV] [OpenWrt-Devel] Talks between OpenWrt and LEDE

[Paul Oranje]

Nevertheless, wouldn’t it be wise to ask SPI to also handle trademark issues around the name lede(-project) ?

Irrespective of the outcome of this discussion about which name to use when the projects would be merged, having some protection around the name seems wise and SPI exists for that very reason (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_in_the_Public_Interest). BTW, the TM record for LEDE mentioned by Dave has USPTO serial number 86650406.

And about what name to choose, the banner (shell) for LEDE looks much, much, nicer than that of OpenWRT.
To leverage the general fame of OpenWRT, as already suggested by John, redirects and keeping archives of (outdated) documentation would probably suffice.
