  Apple vs A.PL

  on Feeling Threatened By Online Grocery Store, Apple Challenges Polish Site A.pl

  I wonder if Apple have ever thought about legal action against anyone who uses the abbreviation APL or anything similar? This would include Kenneth Iverson,who created the APL programming language, back in 1962 apparently, well before Apple was even a twinkle in Messrs Jobs' and Wozniak's eyes, and many other things as well....(you'll find a list at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/apl) couldn't they just drop all this 'tit-for-tat' on trademarks and patents which is only good for the lawyers making money?)
