Huh, interesting. Bluesky the company trademarked the name of "AT Protocol" as "primarily a defensive measure" against abuse.
Going forward, "most everyday use cases [won't] require a license".

Trying to see if there is a precedence for this and learning about the "EMAIL invention controversy". "In 1982, [American engineer, entrepreneur, and anti-vaccine activist V. A. Shiva Ayyadurai] registered the copyright for the source code and user documentation of the FORTRAN program called EMAIL." Yikes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva_Ayyadurai#EMAIL_invention_controversy
