How thre fuck is a company that's existed before most posters on HN were born a "troll"?

• Cyph0n 11y ago
  Troll as in attacking an open source project that is very unrelated just because of a similar name.

    The company in question seems to be a software company that develops a programming language called JADE. These usages are not "very unrelated" and the name is "the same", not "similar".

      The "Jade" of which anyone has ever heard has been around for over five years. What took these people so long to file suit? How long does it take to constitute a failure to police one's trademark?

        That's what I'm wondering as well, our Jade has been at the top of Google for many many years now.

        This is not up to HN to decide, it is up to the court. Unfortunately, we will never know since the new JADE language maintainers agreed to the terms of the old JADE software company.

          Which court is that?
