I don't know who Sri Viswanath is, but I wonder if he understands the implications of "we’ll be glad to look for another name." This has to have been run by Groupon legal, right?

>This has to have been run by Groupon legal, right? Yep. And that portion was in bold. Groupon has officially backed down.

  Not necessarily, however, if they did, I wonder if it was due to the fact that their legal team advised to do it or they backed down due to community/Internet pressure.

    Yes, they did: "Groupon has agreed to change its product name" http://www.gnome.org/news/2014/11/groupon-has-agreed-to-change-its-product-name/ http://www.gnome.org/news/2014/11/groupon-has-agreed-to-chan... The legal team of course reviews product names pre-launch. This about-face was due to community/Internet pressure.
