It wasn't great that it was called Screen anyway. GNU Screen predated screen.so by decades.

  True, but if the product was to fail they'd at least have one asset that they could recoup some money from. (Not that I think they'll fail, it looks very impressive so far).

    Yes but the creditors / investors would gain control of that asset. Is this the best way to spend $1.5M as a startup?
