Mojo Mail is now Dada Mail
Tweet
Mojo Mail, a terrific open source (free) software tool for email newsletters, has had to change its name to Dada Mail. Justin Simoni, its creator and one man band, has also released a new version (2.8.10).
I would note the reason for the name change is a great example of what is wrong with the internet in general and the US Patent Office in particular. Mojo Mail has existed since 1999. It has thousands of active users. Yet in November 2002 a company with lawyers was able to trademark the name Mojo Mail. Guess who wins a contest between an individual who writes great software, for free, and a corporation? Hopefully this is an indication the internet is still in its infancy rather than a portent of the future. Bullies should not be allowed to win, no contest. Otherwise you have a market place with fewer and more expensive alternatives.
Since this seems a popular story, here’s the press release that describes the name change.
