The EU has refused to allow "OpenAI" to openwash their company. Bravo.
#OpenSource means freedom first, and the EU courts agree.
And thanks for the nod to @osi@social.opensource.org Jan, it's gratefully received!

@webmink@meshed.cloud @osi@social.opensource.org it is just a completely normal "you can't register descriptive and non-distinctive trademarks" decision, the only really interesting bit is that the court ignored the arguments that the mark isn't actually descriptive, at least given OpenAIs current product. PS: yes a certain project that I'm a bit associated with has the absolutely worst possible name to try to trademark.
