RealNetworks & Helix Community to Build OpenSource Media Player

Submitted by stro on Wed, 2003-08-06 15:59. Gnome Multimedia

Today at Linuxworld RealNetworks announced the launch of the Helix(TM) Player project.

The open-source Helix Player, with the addition of the RealAudio(R) and
RealVideo(R) binaries, will enable Linux, Unix and Solaris users for the first
time to enjoy a similar level of media playback and SMIL 2.0 support that
millions of consumers do today using the free RealOne(TM) Player on Windows
and Mac.

Helix Player will feature a GNOME/GTK interface along with a Mozilla browser plugin. THe player will also support Ogg Vorbis, MP3, and more.

Ther eis a difference betwwen tradmark and half a dozen other official words that I dont know about.

I do know, that if a company like microsoft released a product called windows, then if I release a product called windows, then microsoft could take me to court saying that since they had thier product first, I cant compy the name because of fair trade (will the real windows please stand up ;) ). Of course if my product was a back massage system then microsoft really couldnt do that because it is completly different business 'sectors'. Like the story with phoenix and the bios company. they asked the mozilla dudes to change it because they were comping out with a bios type version of a browser and didnt want people associating the wrong browser with the wrong product.

I believe that is called a tradmark.
