I know, but the developers will not decide whether it is "substantially similar", the court would. Being -like something doesn't make you substantially similar. ReactOS has a goal of being NT-like... is it substantially similar? In execution or in code? What is the definition of substantially similar? IMHO, that term could be interpreted in any number of ways and make any court case very unlikely in this situation.

Commodore already has Amigo... Microsoft has to pay $20 million dollars(1) for Lindows Inc's Lindows trademark i.e. only 1 character difference.
MS lost the court case against Lindows Inc..

Lindows has WINE (not an emulator) which can run Windows apps natively. As you may already know, WINE share's it's source code with the ReactOS group.

Hyperion has exclusive rights on Amiga OS, AmigaOS, AmigaOne, Amiga One trademarks.
