Visio? Don't they have to pay for copyright on the name "Visio" to Microsoft?

Stop replying on U.S. companies for technologies that provide the backbone of our governments!

They could just use https://www.opendesk.eu/en and join the German D-Stack https://gitlab.opencode.de/dstack/d-stack-home

Who tells them that "Visio" is already a trademark?

[–] motogo@feddit.dk 9 points 1 month ago

Do you know what happens to trademarks and patents when a country starts threatening its (previous) allies with military invasion and tradewars, and start undermining the values of those allies? You're right! It goes into the square hole! Heck, maybe I'm going to start a new software company tomorrow called Microsoft, and then threaten left and right with all crazy shit if anybody complains. Nobody will care about US trademarks since US disqualified itself by now.

Trademarks don't matter when it's only for internal use.

Why not open source solutions for most of those?

[–] E_coli42@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

If is. It's free (orI guess libre makes more sense since they are French) under Apache-2.0

Apparently a rebranded LiveKit, which is developed by an US American company...

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No, Visio is based on BigBlueButton, and it is to interface with Tchap, which is an internal Matrix server for France's gov agents.
EDIT: Ah! Yes, apparently LiveKit is involved in the integration with Tchap. My bad, you seem to be right!
