TBM-3 Avenger --- ok
Grumman Avenger --- not ok
Whatever the original reasons it was all overtaken by a separate wide ranging agreement which went way beyond normal copyright protection laws.

first off that is BS (im not saying you are wrong, but im saying grumman was wrong)...the REASON they used the name grumman in the name of the aircraft could be seen as given credit where credit is due...i mean grumman avenger is a name of a thing...so why not just use the whole name...im pretty sure no one was going to buy the game cuz the name grumman was on the box...its not like they were saying they had the backing of grumman they were simply stating the name of the plane and its manufacture....i guess next time i write a report and i include the company's name who makes a product i should have to pay them big bucks....at least this is where this crap is going....
thats like using someones full name and them getting mad at you for it....
these corporations are FICTIONAL entities that exist ONLY on paper...its the PEOPLE who are real...its the people that matter...not some corporations, who think they are people (look at politicians who say things like, "corporations are people too" and so on...) human beings have rights (endowed by their creator) corporations do not since they are created by man...
seriously people wake up stop being slaves to corporations and their whims...
