Absolutely right. If Apricot can do it then Pear should be able to too. But the precedent doesn't stop there:

Acorn

Raspberry (Pi)

Blackberry

Tangerine (remember them? They made the Oric)

I'm sure that there must be others - I just can't remember them all.

My guess though is that this doesn't come from the top. It's just some dickhead in the legal department who's trying to justify his sad existence. Lawyers. Right up there with PR and telephone sanitisers.
