clearly not an expert of legal issues, so the following may
probably not make sense.<br>
<br>
<developer nonsense><br>
The goal of this tool is to help new contributors, and making them
more easily start contributing to OSM. If we give it an obscure
name, not referring to OSM, then where is the link between this
tool and OSM ? I understand legal issues, but I hope that we don't
loose of sight that we are a community project, and we need some
form of cohesion. Our tools don't share so much except that they
edit OSM data or help people doing so. According to this policy,
JOSM should have been named instead "Java Editor for
you-know-which-map-I'm-<wbr>talking-about" ? Doesn't make sense to me.<br>
<br>
However, if there is a way to keep the name and sign some sort of
contract, implying that I will not misuse the name or so, no
problem, that would be fair. But let's keep the fun in creating
tools for OSM, and not being able to name it using OSM is clearly
boring plus misleading for users.<br>
</developer nonsense><br>

Thanks for reading this nonsense, I'm totally open to find a way
to solve this potential naming issue, if someone can give me some
hints about it, it would be great. </div></div></blockquote></div></div></div>
