Wolfgang was a great man. Beside of U-Boot his company was also deeply involved in the Linux real-time extension Xenomai: https://lore.kernel.org/xenomai/87v8oa60bx.fsf@xenomai.org/

For those missing the reference, NAMBLA is the "man/boy love association" (as in pedophiles).

I used to study news, which meant reading a lot of it, so maybe I'm not representative, but I immediately noticed that.

Whoever tastefully drew their logo in lowercase might've warned them not do it as all-caps elsewhere, if they were aware of the US brand issue.

If I had to refer to this brand name in text, such as in specs, I wouldn't do all-caps like they have. (To US people, who may be familiar with the toxic brand from written news, US journalism style guides tend to put initialisms and acronyms in all-caps, unlike in parts of Europe.) I would capitalize only the first letter.

It's also the name of a mathematical vector derivative operator (∇).

To scientific-oriented minds it only refers to the mathematical operator.

I personally did not know about, and don't care about, the "horrifying" thing you see in nabla. And I will keep being like that.

If we were to start tracking all the things that are "a typo away from a bad thing", not a lot of words would be left.

I mean, North American Marlon Brando Look-Alikes are not that bad.

The answer is in the link you clicked: U-boot will be maintained as the open-source project it is, with some engineers previously working at Denx going to a specific different company with the express purpose of supporting U-boot.

Seems that it will be maintained by those using it (eg: companies and hobbyists alike)

U-boot will not die from this

And for the (yellow) submarines!
