This is my Custom Function and I want to edit it

Discuss:

I don't get the whole point behind the trademark symbol in Drewsol's function names. Is the author claiming that the name of the function uniquely identifies his business?

I see nothing unique in the name of this author's custom function names to warrant common law protection. In addition, the product itself is released under open-source license, so it baffles me that the author would seek to protect the name of a product that the author has released ownership rights to. Color me puzzled?!?!?
