Roger,

I think he was referring to an article on hackaday about SparkFun being sent
a cease and desist order by an attorney representing Sun, Sparc
International, and their 'SPARC' servers saying SparkFun selling computer
and electronics is an infringement on Sun's 'SPARC' trademark.

I think this has less of a chance of going anywhere than SCO's lawsuits
about Linux/Unix source code...


Brian

problem.  Where did you get your information?
