(Guessing) it is a signal to the community that node 'belongs' to the community -- hence renaming it after the community/nonjoyent fork.

- bdcravens 11y agoIt was node pre-Joyent
- schmichael 11y agoThere was no node pre-Joyent. Ryan Dahl and other early contributors were all working at Joyent. It is Joynet IP and they own the trademark.
- bdcravens 11y ago(sorry for delayed response) I don't think this is accurate. I don't know when Ryan went to work for node, but if you listen to his earliest talks, where he discusses the journey he took to develop node, it was an independent project. Additionally, these posts identify when Joyent took node under its umbrella (along with the IP): https://www.joyent.com/blog/a-new-abode-for-node/ https://www.joyent.com/blog/a-new-abode-for-node/ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nodejs/lWo0MbHZ6Tc https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nodejs/lWo0MbHZ6Tc
