G.U.E. Technical Institute

Well, here's an off topic question of sorts. I'm setting up a new BBS this
weekend and am trying to come up with a name. The focus of the system will
be things that interest me (IF, TADS programming, security/privacy,
electronics, Linux, etc.). I think I want to call the system G.U.E.
Technical Institue (guetech.com). I will be getting a UUCP link for news and
email next month(as soon as IRS check shows up), and eventually going to
128k ISDN or 56k Frame relay network connection.

This will be a commercial system, but will offer free access to file
archives(charge for email/news/net stuff). My question is: what are the
legal implications(if any) of calling it G.U.E. Tech? Does anyone actually
hold the copyright to the name sused in the Infocom games, or if they do, do
they really care anymore?

If you don't think the name's a good choice, throw ideas for something
better at me.

Thanks,

Brian
