Groupon has agreed to change its product name

Thank you so much for your donations and help in spreading the word! We
are overwhelmed and reinvigorated by the support we received from
everyone, which has resulted in the following joint announcement that
we’re publishing with Groupon:

“Groupon has agreed to change its Gnome product name to resolve the
GNOME Foundation’s concerns. Groupon is now abandoning all of its 28
pending trademark applications. The parties are working together on a
mutually acceptable solution, a process that has already begun.”

There is something amazing about free software – it’s ethical
technology but it also creates a fantastic community of people who are
willing to fight for what’s right. It’s taken us a tremendous amount of
time and effort to deal with this issue in the months leading up to our
announcement and it will take us a little time to regroup. We’ll keep
you posted as the matter resolves fully.
