Is it ok to use "helm" in name of open-sourced Maven plugin
|
Stefan Hudelmaier <stefan.hudelmaier@...>
Hello, first of all, great work on Helm, it has made our life a lot easier since we begun using it. We have been developing an Apache Maven Plugin for Helm, which we would like to open-source. The question now is if we may use the name "helm" in the artifactId of our Maven plugin, e.g. "helm-maven-plugin", obviously the groupId would reflect our comany ("com.deviceinsight"). Just wanted to make sure we're not infringing on the trademark rights of the Helm project in any way. Kind regards, Stefan |

I am not a lawyer but there are multiple Helm-related projects, all prefixed with the name “helm-“, so I don’t see a problem with that. AFAIK naming infringement problems only arise when there are projects that use the name “Helm” outside of the context of Helm :)
