The way I read the article it didn't seem that they were so much upset that
he had come up with the new OS, but rather that he had named it legOS.
No matter how you look at it, or what excuse he can come up for choosing
that name, it is pushing the envelope a bit. I personnally wouldn't blame
Lego if they were forced to sue him to change it. Hopefully he will do the
inteligent thing and change it before it gets to that point.
Just my opinon ;)
