Get that HDR look in Linux with Qtpfsgui (Download Squad)

May 25th 2007 6:59PM Please note one of the primary reasons FLOSS applications generally - not always - have odd/eccentric names is that they don't have the startup capital to register a trademark and/or fight a trademark dispute. It has nothing to do with a lack of marketing ambition per se.

Such names are part of what you must accept if you choose to use open-source applications a lot of the time.

If you want to know the scale of the problem, please refer to Apple's recent trademark of the word 'Numbers' for their up and coming accountancy application. An application with the acronym 'HDR' in it (like 'HDRTouch' or 'LinHDR') would be stepping on a giant's toes.
