According to the footer:
"WAMP and the WAMP logo are trademarks of Tavendo GmbH."
Possibly the registration is either pending or registered in a non-US country as the only live WAMP trademark registration I could find was a pasta sauce: http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4004:dvjucv.3.3 http://tess2.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4004:dv...
Regarding the name itself: WAMP is the same as the massively popular Windows LAMP stack. Unnecessary conflict.
But maybe WSAMP could be a nice alternative. AMP postfix hinting "amplifier". The risk of using WS prefix is the relevance to WebService.
- BerislavLopac 14y agoA name or logo doesn't have to be registered to be a trademark. Note that it doesn't say "registered trademarks". It's completely valid and legal. (IANAL)
- oberstet 14y agoYes, exactly. Currently, it is not registered, but claimed and in commercial use. Note that this is only done to protect the integrity of WAMP over time .. "if you fork it, thats cool, but don't call it WAMP". WAMP is an open protocol, free to anyone!
