@bagder :// at curl was copied from original source too. The universe is too large for this only happened with this two projects.

@rtfm it was not copied from any other logo/company/project at least, because at that time I knew of no such to copy from. But sure, :// has been used since URLs were invented - if not longer.

@bagder but you probably presume they copy from. Probably the designer don't even know what curl is all about :PP Did you copy the word curl from someplace? That's why intellectual property is a nice indicator how messup is the current justice systems at all sectors.

@rtfm I don't presume in this case. I talked to them so I know how things played out.

And about curl, that word had a meaning before the curl project, yes. Shocking, I know.

@bagder Tbh, in the moz://a logo, out of all uses I’ve ever seen, it makes the most sense.

bagder, 4 months ago

@calisti I agree. I tried very hard to get it "merged" into the curl logo somehow but we just did not have the letters for it like Mozilla does!

@bagder Patience, Mozilla changes their logo so often, that I had already forgotten what their logo is. When they rebrand it will be gone 🙂
