Don't be daft you two. For most this has nothing to do with copyright. This is
a form of Olympus bigot swearing. We can't bring ourselves to do more than
mumble "Those Other Names From Clearly Lesser Camera's". Thus Leica is
mentionable when talking about the rangefinders but L**caFl*x is a curse.
Whomever obliterated the fine (all bow to the rising sun) names Zuiko and
Olympus must surely have Turretes (sp?) Syndrome?

Rollei and so on.....
