So glad they remembered to support these widely known trademarks: “FLOW-MATIC® (trademark of Sperry Rand Corporation), Programming for the 'UNIVAC® I and II”. My friends and I in /r/univac can’t stand it when the trademarks are dissed. One the mods banned a guy for using Eniac instead of ENIAC and we all thought the 18-month ban was way too light, but the new guard just doesn’t care like we do. Seriously I upvoted and love the whole effort, but the trademark notices are bemusing…

I not sure I understand. Did someone get banned for 18 month because he used lowercase instead of uppercase?

  I’m 99.999% sure they are just being a dick about the copyright notices :p

    Trademark, but yes

  I was making gentle fun about continuing to defend the what I would guess are long-dead trademarks
