Is there some connection between Nvidia and Admiral Hopper's family that makes it ok to appropriate her identity for their product?

Is there some connection between Nvidia and Admiral Hopper's family that makes it ok to appropriate her identity for their product?
- vinay427 3y agoAs far as I can tell they have frequently used the names of famous scientists, such as Kepler, Fermi, Maxwell, Pascal, Turing, Ampere, and Ada Lovelace. This has existed long before Hopper.
- justinclift 3y ago> appropriate her identity Hmmm, what's the difference between homage and appropriation for things like this?
- indymike 3y agoClaiming a trademark.
- justinclift 3y agoThat's a good point. If they're trying to trademark the name, that sounds like it'd raise some ethical issues. :)
