Re: Pervasive PostgreSQL Announcement

Just to clarify, our product name is "Pervasive Postgres" I've tried to be consistent in referring to my version as "Pervasive Postgres" and the community version as "PostgreSQL". I've instructed others in my company to try and be precise in their use of the two terms as well. Also, nobody else could ever have used the term "Pervasive Postgres" since "Pervasive" is a registered trademark. A random person is still free to use the term "MyCompany Postgres", since "Postgres" is a generic term, not registered as anybody's trademark.

The point is, they are claiming trademark on a name that was hitherto free for
everyone to use.
