After nearly a month of waiting, CalcKey has announced their official rebranding as Firefish.
CalcKey adopts a new name, new logo, new site, and new project infrastructure. While the name is somewhat odd, this feels like a really big step forward for the project.
Have any trademark lawyers weighed in on this? I've only seen speculation.
It seems more complicated to me because it's actually the name of several fish and not just the name of a company. It's not like they're called Ford Motor Company Social, right? I'm also not sure that the other software out there is similar enough. They have to argue that customers would be confused but is social networking all that similar to a CRM?
It's basically an alternate version of Mastodon, similar to how Kbin and Lemmy both do similar things while being seperate projects, and a fork of another project called Misskey
