Wont there be a trademark problem with Xorg? It’s too similar in terms of name and logo

A trademark is not same as a copyright iirc. Apple did not come up with the word apple. Yet it’s a trademark. And Apple has a track record of suing smaller companies for trademark violations with silly reasoning
May be Xorg can sue elon musk? idk. Depends on whether they are willing to drain money in a legal battle with a billionaire

It’s as useful as suing Trump. He’ll parade it around and use it for publicity, and stall and appeal endlessly. Then if you win, keep doing whatever and never pay anything.

Also can someone else make something with a blue bird and call it Twitter now, arguing that both trademarks were actively abandoned?

Facebook rebranded as Meta and simply ignored that there was already a company in the tech business named that.
