Out of curiosity? Isn't Qt registered trademark of nokia? I found this on qt4/nokia page: "Nokia, Qt and their respective logos are trademarks of Nokia Corporation in Finland and/or other countries worldwide.".
As Qt3 is part of the LSB and is no longer maintained by Nokia the proper action to take becomes a bit murky. Renaming the project will cause confusion, and partially defeat the purpose of taking over Qt3 maintenance in the first place.
My first thought is to wait and see if Nokia even cares enough to contact us about it. We are not competing with Nokia (we don't even have a Web site for Qt3!); the extent of our publication of Qt3 is a source directory tucked away in our GIT tree. Personally I don't think we'll hear from Nokia any time soon. ;-)
Let's hope so. Anyway I had an idea about whole Trinity, I already talked about this with Calvin and he liked this idea. I'd split whole trinity into 3 components: Trinity Libs, Trinity Desktop Enviroment and Trinity Apps. And call the whole thing Trinity Project Trinity libs: qt3, tdelibs and other libs we provide TDE: things only needed for desktop Enviroment. panels, menus, kcontrol, kwin ecc... Trinity apps: apps based on Trinity libs, but which do not require TDE to be run. What do you think about it? Besides, split current tde* monolithic groups into single apps. Do we have any reason to keep them as they are?
