Spider (@vaspider.gay):

Who has two thumbs and got a legal threat from the lawyers for the Gilbert Baker foundation because he gave credit to Gilbert Baker as the creator of the original Pride flag on items that use that colorway?

YEP!


Nerdy City Inc. (@nerdycity.bsky.social):

Oh. Oh no.


Spider (@vaspider.gay):

Oh yes.

So I guess we're just not using that flag anymore.


Maia🏳️⚧️ (@doonethingforme.bsky.social):

This is so frustrating! Queer flags should all be fair use open source or whatever


Spider (@vaspider.gay):

Oh it's not about the flag, it's that we said "this is the flag that was developed by GILBERT BAKER" because they have his name trademarked, which they did after he died.


Maia🏳️⚧️ (@doonethingforme.bsky.social):

Fricking heck


Spider (@vaspider.gay):

Yep. So we changed the name of it in our system to '1977 flag' and removed all credit.

Isn't that shitty?


Yuzu Adagio, capybara vtuber (@yuzu-adagio.bsky.social):

even from a corporate greed standpoint I don't understand their goals here


Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

It's an automatic thing. If someone uses the trademark without a royalty agreement, contest it. If they pay, good. If they don't, and they take it down, "trademark dilution" was avoided, allowing continued leverage of the mark in the future. That's it.
