A comment on Google Announces KataOS: Security-Focused OS, Using Rust and SeL4 Microkernel.

A dead comment complains about the name KataOS, because of the existence of Kata Containers. It does not appear that Kata Containers has a trademark associated with their name. Corporations do not act "polite." They react to force of law.

PSA: If you run an open source project and you want to protect its name, you better put a ring on it.

But, I'm curious: is a container manager in a sufficiently similar market to an operating system to constitute brand confusion?

You know, the little t with a ring around it? Pretty sure that's what Beyoncé's talking about here?
