Indeed it does, I think the name for that should be changed or it should be 
dropped.

It hasn't been discussed before, I've added Spot to the CC as he usually makes 
the decisions surrounding legal stuff. Tom, my assessment of the situation is 
that ktron indeed is a problem too.

While at the subject, I think that renaming Armagetron and removing any 
references to Tron from the docs / text printed in the game, should make 
Armagetron acceptabl, do you agree? And is anyone willing todo this?
