Not quite a copyright concern but wouldn't this get confused with the island[0]? [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yap https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yap

  Honestly, they should embrace it. Change the Yap logo to the outline of the island. Turn an abysmal oversight into a piece of marketing lore.

  Not a chance, if Alphabet can call a molten salt power storage spinoff "Malta" (and really, really drive home the point that they were coming up with names by spitballing random "molten"-like sounds) https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-19/gates-bezos-among-billionaires-backing-alphabet-energy-spinoff https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-19/gates-bez...

  I think with context it will be pretty apparent whether you're talking about islands in the Pacific/Micronesia or a real time chat room.

  i think not until they decide to add a Yap token with PoW based on stone chiseling.

  I've literally never heard of this island until now.

  Java is also a place name

    I crack up every time I see the Java logo, a cup of coffee. I honestly doubt they knew it was an island with hundreds of millions of inhabitants when they picked that name.

    Amazon is also a place name.
