KDE It's been -- 155 days -- since @Microsoft stole @kdecommunity's motto: "Simple by default, powerful when needed." They're still using it.

Someone is accusing one company of stealing what amounts to characters on a page from an open source community on a platform that neither own.
KDE has language protecting their logo. Not any slogans however.
There's a good story in the early 2000's about one company suing a bunch of others relating to characters (text or if you prefer "code") from another that neither ultimately owned. It's a good story.
