Does that apply to college stations? If our CTV wanted to mount a "Password" and call it "Password", would Fremantle be breathing down our necks, or would they not see it as a big problem?
I know it would cause a problem if they ever wanted to revive Password, because then we'd have something similar to the Cram situation, but otherwise, I don't know. I still say GSN should have lost that whole Cram arguement, though. But maybe we don't know all the details. [/quote]
My Family Feud software is being used by the Federal Judicial Center in Washington, D.C. They send out my program as part of a teacher's kit to facilities that train probation officers and courtroom employees. When I asked them the legal issues involved with using the name "Family Feud" with the software, they told me they would contact their team of lawyers and this is what they said in a nutshell:
The Family Feud name and logo are legal to use if it is being used for educational purposes. For purposes of public distrubution, like having it available for public download from my web site, they told me it was legal as long as I changed the name to something like "Family Fewd."
Now that my site is growing exponentially by the month, I'm highly considering changing my software's name to "Family Fewd" instead of what it is now.
