CopperPDF naming is misleading and potentially confusing to users #3

Borrowing the "Copper" prefix by CopperheadOS makes this appear to be even more associated with CopperheadOS than the original PDF application. CopperheadOS has been filed as a trademark and that could easily be considered infringement. It's clearly based on the CopperheadOS brand since this was forked from our code while not being tied to the project.

@thestinger Naming the fork CopperPDF was intended to be a way to give credit to the original project and author. Anyway I understand your request and I will rename the app, no need to mention trademarks.

@thestinger Are you ok with "CuprumPDF"?

thestinger commented 7 years ago

Yes, I just find Copper misleading.
