Did they try to take the name?

It would be similar to someone setting up a website very similar to DC and calling it "Super DonationCoder". Whether or not that would be illegal, it wouldn't be right to do without Mouser's permission. And even if Mouser took DC in a direction that many people didn't agree with, it wouldn't be right.

That comparison is pretty specious. But Ok... taking it there...
So what about Github Flavored Markdown? Or MultiMarkdown? Or any of the other various flavors? They neither requested nor got anything tacit or otherwise in the way of approval. And... I could go through linking a whole lot of conversations from very long ago, in which they've tried to get Gruber onboard, and stated that they weren't trying to usurp anything from him.
But just as with discussions of the past of CommonMark, this particular discussion has run its course, I think. Onward! :Thmbsup:
