It was originally intended to protect the image of famous people used in advertising. Similar laws (with varying length of coverage) are found elsewhere. As such, the days when you could name a product after a famous person are long gone unless you can get that person to sign a document that gives us irrevocable permission. ....Roy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
