Such a missed opportunity to call it CUDA Libre...
- phoronixrly 2y agoUnfortunately both would seem to be infringing on nvidia's trademark... We just can't have nice things..
- mrbungie 2y agoThen call it Cuba Libre.
- phoronixrly 2y agoSounds too similar to cuda.. :(
- chii 2y agocuba libre is a drink name, which won't infringe on trademark, as it's not really possible to confuse it with CUDA.
- diggan 2y agoOr go even further, call it "Culo Libre", only two letters away anyways.
- pezezin 2y agoIf nVidia can release a library called cuLitho, I don't see why not.

- londons_explore 2y agoA trademark isn't a total prohibition on using someone else's name. You can still use their name where there is no likelihood of consumer confusion. Obviously many companies choose not to to avoid a lawsuit over the issue - but it's unlikely NVidia would win over this method name.
- marcodiego 2y agoWorse, some functions are prefixed libreCu which in Portuguese means "free ass hole".
- candiddevmike 2y agoI'd love to work on a codebase like that. I think codebases need more swearing to fully capture context and intent of the developer.

- HPsquared 2y agoMaybe better use 'lcu'.

- ronsor 2y agoI feel like every name or phrase will inevitably be offensive in some language.
- tuetuopay 2y agoSame meaning in french. Oh well…
- vasco 2y agoLibre isn't a portuguese word so it doesn't mean free asshole. Livre does mean free, but these are different words.
- stuaxo 2y agoHa, this is great and fits in with that famous Linus speech to Nvid
- porphyra 2y agoCan you explain this joke? I don't get it.
- holowoodman 2y agoThere is a drink called "Cuba Libre" (White Rum + Coke).
- madars 2y agoTraditionally, Cuba libre also has lime juice while a plain "rum and Coke" order leaves it out. https://iba-world.com/cuba-libre/ https://iba-world.com/cuba-libre/
- lmm 2y agoWikipedia suggests only a few sources draw that distinction and including lime or lime juice in a "rum and Coke" is very normal.
- Nursie 2y agoI've had rum and coke with lime but I've never seen something without the lime referred to as Cuba Libre. That said, I have never been to Cuba, so what do I know?
- mattl 2y agoSeriously. Such a shame
