Hi I've just added a new question to the FAQ: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/LegalIssuesFAQ Q: What sort of things should I bear in mind when choosing a new project name, in order to reduce the risk of running into legal problems in the future? But I don't have an answer! I understand we can't cover all bases here. I understand that general guidelines can't replace a full conflict search by counsel. However, there are plenty of examples of why a general question to this would help developers avoid making obvious mistakes. And we're likely to just see more and more new project names, so we can't have the answer be "ask Mr Name Expert whether the name is sane". Without using any of our current project names as examples, would anyone care to take a stab at answering this generally? Thanks, Mark.
