[osflash] on using the word "Flash" in your projects...

[Carlos Rovira]

mmm....I'm not an expert in this kind of things, but common sense should be
the way to deal with this. IMHO, that's a strange petition since the word
"Flash" is used in a lot of things not Adobe Flash Related. "Adobe Flash"
should be the trademark and not only "Flash". People could agree only to
maintain good relations with Adobe but I don't think this could be
mandatory.

If not Queen or DC Comics have an huge problem ;)

Just my two...
