Does this mean that we can keep the repository name the same (e.g.
just fork it in GitHub)? How about the EPEL/Debian/Ubuntu packaging?
That would certainly make life easier for everyone all around and
we'd just have to worry about the name of the GitHub org.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I think it can certainly be avoided. Globus may trademark the

Yes, they have. See the bottom message on [1] and [2].

Although "Globus" is a trademark, the use of "Globus"/"globus" in
the source code in file names, directory names, function,
variable, etc. names and the names of compiled executables and
libraries is a different thing, I believe.
<br>
<br>
The source code contains "Globus"/"globus" everywhere but is
licensed under an Open Source license, which in my eyes includes
reuse as-is without prior changes, even for binaries, as the names
for the binaries are determined by the Makefiles which are part of
the source code.
