A while ago, we started promoting the prefix 'tx' (see <<a href="https://launchpad.net/tx">https://launchpad.net/tx</a>>) to mean "twisted extension", i.e. "this works with twisted, gets along well with Twisted", sort of like "py" is for "python".</div><div><br></div><div>I'm not a lawyer, but my vague understanding is that if you honor this request, it will make things easier for the Twisted project to secure trademark rights later on. So, I hope that you will consider re-naming "twistedsim" to something else (might I suggest "txnetsim"?) so that it's easier for users to keep this straight.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again,</div><div><br></div><div>-glyph</div><div><br></div></body></html>
