Using the Tables brand/trade name for a spreadsheet application

[Marijn Kruisselbrink]

Hi Daniel,

We did of course use google to try to make sure that we wouldn't use any name 
that might conflict with existing software, and unfortunately didn't come 
across your application (also our application is called "Calligra Tables", not 
"Tables"). But since we of course don't want to couse any more confusion than 
is inherent in using a generic word as name for an application, we've decided 
to rename Calligra Tables to Calligra Sheets.

Regards,
