Wont there be a trademark problem with Xorg? It's too similar in terms of name and logo

Idk if you really can copyright a letter of the alphabet.

A trademark is not same as a copyright iirc. Apple did not come up with the word apple. Yet it's a trademark. And Apple has a track record of suing smaller companies for trademark violations with silly reasoning

May be Xorg can sue elon musk? idk. Depends on whether they are willing to drain money in a legal battle with a billionaire

It's as useful as suing Trump. He'll parade it around and use it for publicity, and stall and appeal endlessly. Then if you win, keep doing whatever and never pay anything.
