> not sure how much leg he has to stand on for using the word nginx itself in the new product’s name and domain

pretty sure they can't really do anything to him in Russia. Russia and US don't recognize each others patents, same as China.



What do patents have to do with this?


Many people seem to confuse trademarks and patents...


i know the difference i just don't care enough. same thing applies - u would gave to register business and trademark in Russia and pay taxes to have any legs


It's a .org domain, the registry is held in the USA.


Right, they will just go after the domain forcing either a rename or a move to a Russian domain


nginx is simultaneously a registered trademark of F5 and imnsho mouth garbage for English speakers. This is a good opportunity to rename the project.


It's pronounced "engine X".


Exactly—there's never been a better time to actually make the name look like it sounds.


We already have a mess that is Dapper and Dapr. No thankyou


So… just add two `e`s?


This.
