i think "Sailfish" word wasn't created by jolla and can be used in any other cases. (like "Windows" word, really)

Anyone can sue anyone, not getting thrown out of court is another matter.

I'm pretty sure, any fisher can sell "sailfish" and any carpenter can sell "windows" without being sued.

RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. We are using 3D printing to do this, but if you have other technologies that can copy themselves and that can be made freely available to all, then this is the place for you too.
