e.g. Can a software use a naming scheme based on Genshin characters, WoW locations/zones, etc. for their version codenames?
Debian versions are based on Toy Story characters.
Are you familiar with Debian and how its versions are named?
Sure. There aren’t any rules. VLCs version names are Discworld characters.
Man I sure hope so:
I use Federation starship classes as my codenames. Granted, I’m a tiny project, but I’ve yet to get a C&D from Paramount or the Roddenberry estate. 🤷🏻♂️
You did not mention where, and I’m not a lawyer, but I’ve never heard of a copywrite or trademark holder react to just the name on an open software release .
Can’t hurt to get permission
Edit: Cannot use, too many automated take down notices whenever release mentioned on certain media. Even with permission, it will be a pain
NCR names their motherboards after NASCAR tracks.
