I own them all, actually. Luckily I'm alruistic, so I've licensed them all under GPLv3. Except yclept. I prefer to keep that one all to myself.

I've always assumed the Children's Television Workshop owned them. Pretty sure they own "Cookie" and "Snuffleupagus" at least.

I'm pretty sure Apple holds the design patent on words.

I suppose it is a bit interesting, everyone should have their own unique address of course, there really is no need for everything to end in .com is there?
Perhaps we just need to get rid of the dots? |

Please don't use "altruistic" any more, it's mine, I inherited it from my grandfather Al Truistic, founder of LootemRootem Hedge Funds for the Common Borrower, Inc.
