23 Mar 2009 : shAIR becomes sharify
You may have noticed the lovely logo and naming we came up with for shAIR, a system built by Luck Laboratories that allows you to make money out of your AIR applications.
Sadly Adobe informed us we were infringing on their trademark. Specifically you're not allowed the word 'air' in your business name or domain name if your product relates to Adobe AIR™ technology. We're a little bit gutted (not entirely surprised given some other similar cases) but its just the sheer pointlessness of it all that's got us down a bit. We're not pretending to be Adobe (passing-off), we make that fact clear on the website and I'd like to think our product makes AIR development more attractive if anything. But rules are rules and we whilst we'd love to argue this one out (I've watched a lot of Ally McBeal in my time) we have better things to do....
Anyway you can read our full statement here and if you want to make money out of your Air applications I suggest you give sharify a try.
