Found this just now, the datacenter featured in Batman vs Superman is made by the EMC2 company, they are the reason we had to change the name of this project to LinuxCNC.
At least they did not sue us, so thank you...maybe?!?!?!

When you say "us", are you implying that LinuxCNC has its own legal entity and belong to a registered individual/group in the same jurisdiction of this so called EMC2 company?

I have an OSS de-obfuscating project named "Microsoft [name redacted]". They emailed me roughly 30~40 times(I've stopped counting) with endless threats to sue, among others including what sounded like personal threats. Been 8 years... where the f are they?

Nope, not implying anything, i just liked the name and wondered how the hell did they get it registered as it is the equation for energy
E=M*C2
That is always attributed to Albert Einstein.
Thinking back, the new name has grown on me, so not pissed off at them anymore. The thing was, searching the web for emc2 would bring back countless results, new name brings back this project as the first result.

Probably have bigger fish to fry, and the government is stomping on them, again. :)

Prolly tied up to that 4-years term elected decriminalized mob. You know, the same mobsters who facilitate the multi-billions annual drug trade, int'l lethal weapons trade, human trafficking, child porn, (the illicit list is endless), all that by means of monetary supplies & financial services?! Hint; hides its true color behind the pretext of "freedom" ;)

Permission granted to do what the f you want. Unethical business practices incl. Enjoy that announced freedom!!
