Hacker Scouts sent a Cease & Desist for “trademark violations” by Boy Scouts of America

Samantha Cook, for Hacker Scouts:

Through various letters, we have tried to quietly come to a compromise, but the BSA position is clear: change our name or they will take us to court.

The BSA’s main argument is that they have a constitutional charter that they interpret to mean they have the right to use and trademark any word they choose. We disagree.

The word that comes to my mind as apt is a plural combination of a flexible container and a french shower.
