wait a minute here. if this is enforceable, then msft can drop by and 
order the renaming of kword, and somebody else can probably order the 
renaming of kmail, and so on, right down the line. it might be a very 
good idea to drop a note to a lawyer type -- Eben Moglen 
<moglen@columbia.edu> would be a good start, maybe, in that he's the 
FSF's general counsel and the FSF now claims that kde meets its 
purity standards -- to see if anything at all need be done. i suspect 
the proper response is to tell the adobe guy to go poop in his hat.

that's why it took so long to happen.
