I'm confused .. is this a Google-led fork? Is "Flutter Foundation" a google sponsored foundation? If not, why use "Flutter" trademark? Also, if the fork is called "Flock", why is this called a "Flutter Foundation"?
- echoangle 2y agoGoogle is the „owner“ of flutter, why would they fork their own thing? The post is describing the problem the author has with google.
- ClassyJacket 2y agoBut they're using the Flutter trademark. It's a fair question. They appear to be using a trademark owned by someone else without permission.
- echoangle 2y agoRight, give it a few days and the domain will change.
- macspoofing 2y agoThey kind of did it before with DartAngular. Maybe this is a Red Hat/CentOS division, where Flock is an upstream community edition and Flutter is ... I don't know. I asked because it is confusing. My assumption would be that if this is an independent organization they couldn't use 'Flutter' because that is a registered trademark of Google, and they would say they are not connected to Google. I'm looking through their website and github repo for any statement that either asserts or denies a connection to Google - and I'm not seeing it.
